Students of the Bachelor's degree programme in Environmental and Land Engineering have the opportunity to participate in study visits and field trips that allow them to deepen the contents covered in the classroom from a more applicative point of view.
The trips may include both field activities and visits to industrial sites operating in fields that are related to the study programme.
The following are some of the visits realized in recent times:
Val Borbera, May 2024
