The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Milano-Bicocca expresses its identity by fostering excellence through synergies between research and teaching in various fields of natural and economic sciences, with a strong focus on environmental protection. The educational offering of the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes, described below, covers areas such as Earth and marine sciences, chemical and environmental sciences, and economic studies on sustainability.

The Economics and Technologies for Sustainability Master’s degree is an inter- and transdisciplinary program addressing global challenges through a blend of economics and natural sciences. ETS generates knowledge regarding planetary resources, both renewable and non-renewable, resource and environmental economics, sustainable production technologies, energy generation and storage, carbon neutrality and negativity, waste valorisation including recycling, identification, quantification and certification of sustainability, related business strategies, as well as socio-political challenges related to implementing sustainability in modern societies. Curiosity: The transdisciplinary nature manifests itself in a Master’s of Economics degree issued by a science department!

With the progressive depletion of terrestrial resources, the oceans have become a strategic resource and a new frontier for socio-economic and political development: energy, food, raw materials, biodiversity, global communications. Studying and managing the complexity of the marine environment requires an integrated and multidisciplinary approach. The Master’s Degree in Marine Sciences addresses this need by training experts in the study of oceanic processes and their sustainability. At DISAT, research and teaching are closely connected through advanced expertise applied to the study of the marine system in all its components.
