2-years Master of Science in
University of Naples Federico II
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.
