Objectives
General aim
The teaching goals are in line with those of the master degree course, which aims to train expert professionals in the
field of monitoring, assessment and management of natural and anthropogenic risks, bringing to higher levels the
training process undertaken by students during the bachelor degree. This teaching will allow students to acquire a
solid scientific interdisciplinary preparation on the multitude of topics of environmental sciences and excellent
mastery of the scientific method of investigation, making graduates able to deal in an integrated way and with wide
autonomy the challenging environmental problems arising from the natural land evolution and by anthropogenic
activities.

2

The teaching specific aim is the provision of students with the conceptual and methodological tools necessary for the
study of complex systems at each level of ecological organization (from organisms to landscapes), as well as the skills
necessary to define pragmatic methodological approaches for the study and modelling of ecological systems, in order
to develop and put in practice original and innovative ideas to basic and/or applied research activities.
Knowledge and understanding skills
The student will acquire knowledge on the structure and functioning of complex systems at each level of ecological
organization, with a particular focus on the emergent properties and the scales of variation, as well as on the tools of
experimental ecology and ecological modelling.
Capability to put in practice knowledge and understanding
The student will acquire the ability to autonomously formulate research projects aimed at the study of complex
systems at each level of ecological organization, also through modelling approaches and in interdisciplinary contexts.
Judgement independence
The student will be able to autonomously apply the acquired knowledge in order to better manage the complexity of
ecological systems and will develop the necessary skills to evaluate epistemological approaches for their study,
allowing the thoughtful choice of the best strategies and tools for the pursued goal.
Communication skills
The student will develop the ability to communicate through the ecological jargon, carrying out effective research
projects for the study of ecological systems and interacting with specialist and non-specialist interlocutors.
Learning skills
The student will develop the skills necessary for the autonomous acquisition of information through the consultation
of the scientific reference literature, keeping the pace of the ongoing scientific and methodological developments, in
order to undertake individual paths to address the the complex and multidisciplinary problems of ecological system
analysis.
