Scuola Mattei & Medea Master

Your future in energy and the environment

Founded in 1957, the Scuola Mattei launched the first example of post-graduate education in Italy, over the years becoming a benchmark for energy sector professionals.

As has been the case since the course began, we are looking for young men and women with a passion for energy and the environment and the desire to build their own future. We offer a 10-month study programme in a cutting-edge international environment in which students can acquire the very latest knowledge from university professors, managers and experts from Eni, while meeting fellow students from all over the world. An adventure and an investment – in yourself and in a team.

Admission requirements

Italian candidates must:  

  • hold an Italian degree with a final grade of not less than 105/110 (or 95/100), obtained in the faculties of Economics or Engineering, or an equivalent academic qualification from a foreign institution

  • be less than 28 years old on 31 December of the year in which the Master's course begins

  • have an excellent knowledge of the English language

Applications are accepted from Italian candidates who are expected to graduate in the July preceding the course start. 

 

Non-Italian candidates must: 

  • hold a university degree from a recognised university in the fields of economics, engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, statistics, law, political science or international relations.

  • be less than 32 years old on 31 December of the year in which the Master's course begins

  • have an excellent knowledge of the English language

Scholarships

Every year, Eni offers a number of scholarships that fully cover the cost of the MEDEA Master's (worth €25,000), which includes educational materials, the use of company canteens and a monthly scholarship of 1500 euros gross for admitted students. Participants will be selected based on university qualifications and other professional qualifications and experience. Academic or professional experience in the energy sector will be given appropriate consideration. Individuals selected independently by the Eni's foreign companies can also enroll on the courses.

The Master's

The MEDEA Master's is aimed at graduates with degrees in technical-scientific and economic subjects, both from Italy and abroad, as well as those who already work in the energy and environment sector and wish to gain a more in-depth understanding in these areas. The curriculum is specifically focused on the themes of energy and the environment and takes an international and interdisciplinary approach. The academic staff consists of an internal team and a number of professors from leading Italian and foreign universities, along with successful managers and experts from Eni. The teaching includes lectures, flipped classrooms and blended training, case studies, learning by doing, project work, seminars and conferences and guided visits to industrial facilities of particular interest.

The Master is characterised by a transversal placement. The professional role could be related to all areas of the energy and environmental sector: administration, finance and control, strategy and international relations, contracting, trading, risk analysis and management, energy transition and decarbonisation and, for students with a more technical-scientific background, also engineering, product technology, refining, power generation, safety and environmental protection.
