with 3 tracks:

 

- urban and regional planning

 

- environmental planning and policy

(Inter-University Graduate Degree Programme in Environmental Planning and Policy)

 

- regional planning and new technologies

 

 

 

what is taught?

The graduate degree in Urban and Regional Planning and Policy produces senior urban designers and planners capable of assessing the problems of today’s cities and territories and of defining projects and tools through which they can be protected and transformed in accordance with the logic of public governance.

 

how is it taught and what is achieved?

The programme is organised around three studio courses. The first is focused on policy design and teaches students how to develop public actions and political strategies with the support of two integrated courses on the players, processes and tools of planning analysis and design. The second addresses issues of urban revitalisation and is supported by coursework on the history of the city and urban planning and design techniques. The third workshop simulates a typical design project with the support of courses on urban ecology and comparative international case studies.

 

after the graduate degree

Graduates in Urban and Regional Planning and Policy are qualified to take the Italian licensing exam to enrol Section A–Planners of the Register of Architects, Planners, Conservationists and Landscape Architects (Dpr 328/2001).

They are prepared to work as consultants, independent professionals, managers or civil servants in public administrations and in the private sector. They are skilled in designing planning tools, carrying out urban and regional studies, assessing and monitoring projects, plans, programmes and policies, and designing public policy.

Graduates who intend to pursue further studies are prepared to do postgraduate internships in Italy or abroad, to enrol in postgraduate specialisation or training programmes and, if their primary interest is research, to apply to the Iuav School of Doctorate Studies or other doctoral programmes in Italy and abroad.

what is taught?

The inter-university graduate degree in Environmental Planning and Policy is offered at the Università Iuav di Venezia, as a joint programme with Università degli Studi di Sassari (in Alghero) and in partnership with the Universidade Técnica de Lisboa and the Universitat de Girona.

The programme confers the Italian equivalent of a Master of Science in Urban, Regional and Environmental Planning and Policy (class LM-48) and a European Master in Planning and Policies for Cities, Environment and Landscape.

The graduate degree programme aims at producing specialists capable of intervening in the processes of territorial governance from the perspective of environmental sustainability. Graduates will be prepared to fill a fundamental professional role in the new Europe concerned with global/local, natural/artificial, traditional/innovative relationships.

 

how is it taught and what is achieved?

The curriculum is organised around seminar and lecture courses, studio courses, and internships that foster relationships abroad.

Courses are taught at the Università IUAV di Venezia (first semester) and at the Università degli Studi di Sassari (in Alghero) (second semester). In the third semester, students working on a dual degree may attend courses at the Universidade Técnica de Lisboa and the Universitat de Girona. The fourth semester is devoted to integrated studies, internships and the thesis.

 

after the graduate degree

Graduates in Environmental Planning and Policy are qualified to take the Italian licensing exams to enrol in Section A–Planners of the Register of Architects, Planners, Conservationists and Landscape Architects. They are equipped to work as consultants and independent professionals, as well as experts in local entities or at institutions, companies and agencies.

The degree programme responds to the growing demand for innovation in watching over the Earth and in managing geographic data and the environment.

 

Distance learning courses train students as professionals who are skilled in designing geographic information systems for decision making, and who are capable of creating and maintaining complex geographic databases and of using software tools for treating and sharing geographic data and information with the aid of Geographic Information Systems. 

 

If you work, or cannot attend class regularly, distance learning allows you to pursue a university degree programme that combines lessons broadcast over two digital satellite channels (Rai Sat Nettuno 1 and 2) with in-class practice on the most up-to-date technology. Individual tutors are available for each subject and may be reached by email, phone or fax, or by appointment.

 

Professional opportunities abound: digital systems management and control, environmental and risk systems monitoring, city maintenance, information points, soil conservation, civil defense, traffic and transport management, and the updating of geographic survey data.
