The Energy Engineering degree programme prepares professionals to work in the utilisation of both fossil and renewable energy resources. In a context where the energy problem is central to the present and future of human activities, the course provides analytical techniques to control the environmental impact of energy systems, make rational use of energy, and implement sustainable systems and technologies.  The course of study provides a solid foundation in basic science subjects, including mathematics, physics and chemistry. It also provides a cultural foundation spanning various fields of industrial engineering. Characterising disciplines include:
  • Mechanical technology
  • Applied mechanics
  • Electrical equipment for
  • The building’s thermal energy
  • Electricity for sustainability
  • Methods for energy sustainability
  • Principles of nuclear engineering
 The Bachelor’s degree gives access to the Master’s degree courses in Chemical Engineering (LM-28) and Energy Engineering (LM-30).

Enrolment

The Degree Program in Energy engineering has an open access. Find more details at Degree Program webpage.

In order to attend the course, students must take a non-selective evaluation test to verify the initial preparation level.

This test can be taken even after the enrolment completion. Here you can find the evaluation test information.

How to enrol

Enrolment for the a.y. 2023/2024 will start at the end of July 2023. The official dates are being defined.


Enter your personal data on Alice portal.

  • Degree program shortening (in the event of a university degree already obtained);
  • Relocation from another University.

The procedure will request:

  • ID scanned copy
  • passport-sized photo (please check size)
  • High school diploma details (Secondary School Name, year, final mark).

Students with a foreign qualification are required to upload:

  • Declaration of Value (DV) issued by the Italian Diplomatic Authorities in their home country, along with the official translation into Italian of the diploma, legalised (or with an “apostille”) and validated, OR, the ENIC-NARIC certificate is accepted in Italian Language. These documents should attest at least 12 years of schooling and the relevant qualification should allow the access to higher education.

For Degree Program shortening the obtained University degree will be required. For relocation from another University previous university career will be required from the other university.

At the end of procedure please print and sign the FORIM to complete enrolment and upload it on the Alice portal in the Career section annexes.

Students with special needs

Students with handicap under art. 3 Italian Law no. 104/1992 or with a certified disability equal or above 66% are required to upload a medical certificate attesting their health condition for university tuition fees exemption (duty stamp is required anyway).
