Universita Degli Studi di Ferrara - Unife Speciality : Environmental Sciences
programme: Environmental Management with Business

So far I enjoyed my Master’s Degree program, due to the fact that it deals with environmental and social issues, always from an economical point of view. Although I appreciate most of the subject, I perceive that there is a lack of subjects that perhaps can be useful in order to find a related job after the conclusion of the studies. These subjects may be e.g. something related to energy or water management, because of the fact that this kind of manager is much requested on the job market. I also think it is a course directed too much towards paper writing, perhaps in preparation for a doctorate. However, most subjects are really interesting and well explained, thanks, especially to the Professors. For instance, I found really illuminant the course that I have attended at the beginning of my Master’s Degree: environmental economics and policy. It deals with both public and private matters, taking into account always sustainability processes and issues.

I completed a bachelor’s degree in Business and Administration. The university is well located in the heart of the city. The infrastructure is well organized with big classes. There are numerous studying buildings. As for the lectures, it provides a wide range of subjects with some good teachers that are friendly and open to help also after classes. There is a mentoring system that helps students that has difficulties in subjects such as math, accounting etc. The only weakness( as per the entire Italian system) is the lack of projects, the system is mostly theory and would be better if they catch up with the rest of Eu and provide practical cases. The University should be more active in helping students find internships.
