Scienze biomediche e biotecnologiche (Ph.D.)

We pride ourselves on the fact that from the very beginning, the students receive an intensive laboratory training: a strong point of this course is the high number of laboratory credits (up to 20) which allow to consolidate the theoretical training with practical experience. Third-year bachelor students undertake an independent research mini-project. The learning environment is both exciting and enjoyable for students. The small dimension of the University allows an easy contact with high-quality academic staff in tutorials, workshops, and practical training.

The research activity of the SVeB Dept. embraces the full wealth of modern Life sciences ranging from Biology to Biomedical Sciences, from Pharmaceutical Sciences to the Biotechnology. Main topics are: animal morphophysiology; evolutionary & behavioural biology; ecosystems and environment; plant biology; neurophysiology & biophysics, population genetics & genomics; pharmaceutical biology, technology and chemistry for health-related products; infection, immunology and inflammation; molecular mechanisms of disease; biochemistry & pharmacogenomics; pharmacology; molecular & cellular pathology.

biochemistry and molecular mechanisms of disease , evolutionary biology and ecology, pharmaceutical technology and chemistry for health-related products

The course combines traditional topics, such as animal and plant sciences, with the more advanced developments and techniques in all spheres of life sciences. As modern biology includes principles of other sciences, the course begins by providing a solid preparation in basic disciplines, to continue with the offer of a rich multidisciplinary theoretical, methodological and technical knowledge for the biological investigation. Finally, an option system grants to the students the possibility to follow pathways in general, environmental or molecular biology according to their specific interests.

The course aims at providing students with adequate theoretical and practical training in Biotechnology, the use of living systems and organisms to make new products or optimize production processes. Teaching includes biotechnologies applied to either environmental (technologies for renewable resources, quali-quantification of environmental degradation, recovery of natural systems with classical or innovative low impact techniques, quality control) or healthcare issues (technologies for the development/production of medicinal or diagnostic items and delivery systems, using living organisms).

The course, which offers the possibility of a double title with the University of Cordoba and optional courses in English, grants an in-depth knowledge of biomolecular and evolutionary sciences, a family of subjects which have undergone tremendous expansion in recent years, leading to ever increasing insights into various topics as origin of life, nature of disease and development of individual organisms. A solid laboratory experience completes the formation, acquainting the student with powerful new techniques allowing the analysis of biological phenomena in precise molecular terms.

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.

Scienze chimiche (Ph.D.)

The Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, originating from the merge of the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2011, provides a variety of resources and support services to teaching and research activities. The learning atmosphere is both challenging and enjoyable for students. It involves frequent individual contact  with academic staff in tutorials and practical classes.

The Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (DSCF) is active in all the main areas of Chemistry. Research conducted in DSCF is largely experimental, although the theoretical component is well represented. The DSCF, although newly formed, is a compact and dynamic structure in which researchers have the opportunity to interact with effectiveness in multidisciplinary research fields such as life sciences, new technologies, energy production, sustainable processes, environmental sciences, nanotechnology.

Scienze chimiche, Scienze Farmaceutiche ed Alimentari

The undergraduate program in chemistry aims to provide rigorous education in this fundamental area. Along with the compulsory courses in mathematics and physics, emphasis is given to core chemistry theory and practice, including modules on Organic, Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry. Physical, Biological and Industrial Chemistry are covered starting from years 2 and 3. Third-year bachelor students choose additional modules from a range of topics within or outside the Department and receive training in methods of research in specialized areas of chemistry.

The aim of the master´s program in chemistry is to provide a high qualified background of theory and practice in chemistry to enable, during the second year, the completion of a research based master´s project in one of the research groups within or outside the Department. The master’s program allows students to choose from a range of topics in specialized areas of chemistry and to receive training in research methods, with specific focus in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, Energy and Materials chemistry. A number of modules are taught in English.

A key strength of the Eng. Dept. is the quality of its academic training. Students receive an excellent teaching, which draws on the expertise of high-qualified academics, well-equipped laboratories, and many other teaching facilities & services. The learning environment is pleasant, with study rooms and a well-equipped library. Interaction between teachers and students is frequent and fruitful. Academic training directly benefits from the links with professional or public companies, that leads to a high number of internships and a high employment rate of our engineers.
