Course description

The Degree Program in Chemistry provides graduates with in-depth education to work as a professional chemist, further developing the knowledge, skills and competences acquired during the First-Level Degree Courses in Chemistry or similar courses at university level. The Program is based on a common core of subjects designed to provide students with more advanced and specialized knowledge of the various fields of chemistry and it is subsequently completed with two Curricula focusing on specific knowledge of chemistry for the environment and health or molecular design and development of materials and molecules of industrial interest

 

Students who have graduated in the following classes: L-27, LM-13, or possess a Degree in Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry of the previous five-year systems and any other qualification (also obtained abroad), and recognized as suitable by the Department Board are allowed to enroll in the Master’s Degree Course in Chemistry

 

Providing the skills that Professional Chemists need to successfully apply chemistry in up-to-date and innovative ways to solve problems related to the environment and health (Cur. Environment, Health and Local Resources), dealing with molecular design and developing innovative materials and molecules of industrial interest (Cur. Sustainable Materials)

 

The Program prepares graduates to work as managers in public and/or private analyses laboratories of various sectors (environmental, food, health etc.), and as researchers and specialized technicians in various public or private entities involved in the development, formulation and synthesis of new molecules and materials
