2-years Master of Science in Volcanology

University of Naples Federico II

(Laurea Magistrale)

Where is better to study a master in volcanology than in Napoli, a city sandwiched between Campi Flegrei and Vesuvius, two active volcanic areas, home to the first volcano observatory?

Our partnership with INGV-Vesuvian Observatory offers great learning opportunities for postgraduate students.
