The degree in Civil Protection offers a broad spectrum of training with a focus on employability in all economic sectors, as well as further study at Master's level. With a duration of 3 years, the course culminates in an end-of-course assignment, where the student finds a space for specialisation and training in the knowledge acquired, as well as creativity, innovation and research. The teaching model favours student autonomy, the study of real cases, the application of knowledge and the use of modern digital technologies, preparing graduates for a challenging and multifaceted activity, where the excellence of the actors makes the difference in the greater or lesser successes in the protection and rescue of people and property.
