Structure of the course
The first year must be completed at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and is organised in compulsory core courses (60 ECTS) for all students divided between the two semesters.
The second year at the University of Innsbruck, with one compulsory module and several elective modules, gives students the possibility to focus on environmental and resource management, nature protection, landscape ecology and planning, agriculture as well as water management in mountain areas.
Students work in interdisciplinary teams to carry out scientific research that is result-oriented, focused on targets and related to their Master dissertation project.
