The course combines theoretical lessons with the organization of workshops and seminars organized with the aim of integrating skills and areas, accustoming future graduates to an open and interdisciplinary approach.

The course of study includes:

• basic subjects such as mathematics and physics, design and history of architecture;
• subjects characterizing for the professional training in the field of restoration and architectural, structural and urban planning, with particular attention to the conditions of well-being, energy problems and environmental impact;
• related subjects, on hydraulic, geotechnical, socio-economic and shipbuilding aspects.

The course promotes the possibility for the student to carry out different experiences abroad, within the Erasmus mobility program and through specific programs of the University of Pisa (internship in professional studies and degree thesis abroad).
