Environmental biotechnology

The aim is to provide gratuates with a good knowledge in the disciplines characterizing Biology such as zoology, botany, biochemistry and molecular biology, genetic, ecology, microbiology, physiology. The graduates are trained to apply the basic knowledge in research and in professional activities. This is ensured by frontal lectures combined with practical activities (20 credits; 8 hours each) conferring interdisciplinary competences. The programme is enriched by optional courses in the area of biochemistry/molecular biology, morphology/physiology or ecology/evolution.

full time

The aim is to form professionals with good knowledge of both basic and applied biology, with special emphasis on environment, recombinant technologies, in vitro culture techniques and metabolite production through either fermentation or the use of isolated enzymes. The students will be also introduced to legal and scientific issues connected to the use of biotechnologies, so that the graduates will be able to work in the field of technological innovation and develop new supply chains that may improve the economic and environmental sustainability of productive activities.

full time

The aim is to provide graduates with a solid knowledge of basic and applied biology and of the scientific method in the fields of cellular and molecular biology or of ecology and evolution. They are familiar with the most advanced experimental methodologies and skilled in the experimental design, interpretation and analysis of results. These interdisciplinary competences could be exploited in the field of academic or industrial research. They are trained for working in work-teams and provided with decisional autonomy to assume laboratory responsibilities.

full time

The aim is to create highly professional figures able to work mainly in the biotechnology of environment and health, which will have a profound knowledge of basic and applied biology and an adequate knowledge of the scientific method and the most advanced analytical tools. They will learn to plan experiments and tests both in the laboratory and on an industrial scale and will be able to work in a team, but also with decisional autonomy, to assume responsibility for the planning and execution of experimental projects or the management of production plants.

full time

The Master expected a strong interdisciplinary approach and close collaboration between scholars from different fields (accounting, management, economics, public economics, applied economists, legal etc). With a high level of specialization, students benefit from a wider array of disciplines,looking at the same phenomena in a more open way.Is characteristic also the close relationship with practitioners where our students spend some compulsory internship during their study period. External relevant speakers to give at students an overview of the professional real practices.

Accounting and Management, International Market, Environmental Economics

The study program is characterised by four different curricula: SMEs in International and Green Economy and Sustainability Markets (In English): "Business administration and profession" and "Management and Public Policy" Markets (In Italian). The practical relevance of the Master program is granted by the close collaboration with public and private institutions. The research relevance is granted thanks to the link with the Phd program where most of the Master professors also are member of the PhD scientific committee.

full time, part time

The institution offers a mixture of lectures, tutorials, workshops, and laboratory activities in the areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. Each lecture is conducted by a permanent member of academic staff and methods of teaching range from the traditional one at the blackboard to digital presentations.

photocatalysis and materials

The main objective of the Degree Programme is to train graduates with expertise in fundamental areas of chemistry (analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry) in terms of theoretical knowledge and ability to apply it in laboratory activities. The grounding acquired enables the graduate to successfully pursue studies at second-cycle level or to find gainful employment. During the third year, students can choose whether to do an internship in a private company, public body, or in a research laboratory of our University.

full time

The second-cycle degree Programme in Chemical Sciences is organized in two curricula, allowing students to acquire specific competencies in the fields of analysis, synthesis, innovative materials, sustainable energy, and green technologies. During the second year, the graduate develops a cutting-edge research project in a private company, public body, or in a research laboratory of our University.
