Graduate students of Sustainable Architecture and Landscape Design can take part in the professional exam for registration in the Council of Architects. Class LM-4 graduate students can practice as architects in the European Union member states (European Union Official Gazette no. 2004/C 322/02 of 29/12/2004). 

The main professional career opportunities are: 

• in public institutions and in local, national and international companies; 
• in private companies and design offices; 
• in freelancing and consultancy; 
• teaching (schools, universities and training and professional updating) and researching. 

The program is characterized by an international setting, both regarding professors and students and offers an excellent preparation for entering the national and international institutions. 

The program provides graduates with skills integrating the work of a traditional designer with a most innovative vision about impacts’ mitigation and greater attention on the social and cultural contexts. Considering the local setting, the sector of protection and development of agricultural and river areas is stressed, also considering issues of hydrogeological defense.  

Among the professional opportunities, the freelance sector is one of the privileged ones. The program aims at specifically qualifying the educational profile, considering the high level of existing competition in the sector. On the one hand, the emphasis on multi-discipline is aimed at preparing students for situations that are characterized by team-work and interaction with other professionals, often in international contexts. On the other hand, design skills are accompanied by other integrative skills, which distinguish professional profiles that are typical of consultancy societies.  

These skills allow students to aim towards placement in private research companies and think-tanks, operating – both nationally and internationally – to support the elaboration and evaluation of public policies.
