The PhD in Environmental and Civil Engineering (ICA) is part of the research and study programme offered by two Departments: DISEG (Department of Structural, Geotechnical and Building Engineering) and DIATI (Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering). 

The ICA PhD programme covers research topics in classic and frontier areas of both Environmental and Civil engineering, through an engineering and quantitative approach. This approach makes use of theoretical, mathematical and numerical modelling and of experimental methods, carried out both in the field and in high-level laboratories. The ICA PhD programme focuses on: 

  • training highly qualified and internationally recognised researchers in scientific and technological subjects in the environmental and civil sector; 
  • developing specialised technical expertise in a highly multidisciplinary environment and a solid, broader spectrum knowledge in the civil and environmental scope; 
  • providing the essential tools to carry out future activities both in the field of scientific research, whether theoretical or experimental, and in the field of technology, to work in the production and economic sector; 
  • shaping the figures who will play a key role in scientific innovation, in universities, in industries or in research institutions, figures who will be able to manage any type of activity, independently or in a group setting, and to appropriately communicate their ideas and initiatives both in English and in Italian. 


The programme has a highly multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral structure, and it is organized based on the following disciplinary groups: 

  • GEOENGINEERING 
  • HYDRAULICS, HYDROLOGY AND HYDRAULIC CONSTRUCTIONS 
  • GEOTECHNICS 
  • INFRASTRUCTURE, TRANSPORT and CONSTRUCTION 
  • ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 
  • STRUCTURAL MECHANICS 
  • MECHANICS OF MATERIALS 
  • CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING
