University of Trieste

Functional genomics (M), Neuroscience (M), Global change echology (M), Psychology (M), Science and Technology for Environment and Nature (B), Psychological Sciences and Techniques (B)

The 1st and 2nd level programmes of the dept. are organized in three educational paths. The biomedical area relies on a Bachelor in Biological sciences and technologies that gives access to three Master in Functional genomics, Neurosciences, and Medical Biotechnology . The programme in environmental biology starts with a Bachelor in Science and Technology for Environment and Nature, and continues with the Master in Global change ecology. The area of Psychology provides students with a full educational training for a professional life as psychologists with a Bachelor’s and a Master's degree.

The activities of DLS span from Biomedicine to Environmental Biology, Psychology and Cognitive Sciences. Research in the area of Biomedicine is particularly active and includes biochemistry of metabolism, pharmacology, molecular oncology, biomaterials for tissue engineering, neurodegenerative diseases and pharmacogenomics. DLS has a strong track record in recruiting, coordinating and managing grants and in carrying out financial, administrative and managerial tasks in European research projects.

The Bachelor's degree in Biological sciences and technologies provides a solid theoretical background in the different fields of life sciences, together with a training in technological and applied studies of biological systems at cellular and molecular level. The degree course aims to provide an adequate interdisciplinary training in the specific field of biology and its technological applications addressed to the environment, industry and human health, based on thorough knowledge and use of biological systems.

The Master Degree in Medical Biotechnology includes two curricula: molecular medicine (MM) and nanobiotechnology (NBT). For both curricula during the first year an advanced knowledge in cellular biochemistry, human genetics, oncology, molecular biology-diagnostics, pharmacogenetics and biostatistics will be given. The second year will be focused either on molecular cardiology, nutrition and molecular immunology (MM) or nano-biotechnology, molecular biophysics and biomaterials/tissue engineering (NBT).

The Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (DSCF) of the University of Trieste is responsible for the organisation and teaching activities of the various degree courses in Chemistry, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical and Chemical Technology (CTF). The DSCF organises the Doctoral School in Pharmaceutical and Chemical Technology and is a participant in the Doctoral School in Nanotechnology of the University of Trieste. The DSCF hosts an important library, numerous teaching laboratories, along with instrumentation and facilities dedicated to basic and applied research fields.

The research activity conducted at the Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (DSCF) is articulated in various areas: from drug design, synthesis and formulation, to supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnologies, to environmental and sustainable chemistry, to theoretical and computational chemistry; and represents a cutting-edge scientific activity, with numerous national and international scientific collaborations. The department proposes itself to the non-academic world (Industry, public and private research bodies) as a cultural reference and mainstay for chemical research.

organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry

The bachelor programme aims at providing adequate basic knowledge, both experimental and theoretical, in the main fields of chemistry. A single curriculum is available, covering: elements of mathematics and physics; principles of analytical, organic, physical, general and inorganic chemistry, industrial and macromolecular chemistry and biochemistry. Graduates will be able to carry out professional activities in industry, research laboratories, control and analysis in environment and energy areas and in the field of preservation of cultural heritage.

The Master program (2 curricula: “Supramolecular and nanostructured systems” and “Organic-biomolecular”) provides graduates with solid knowledge in key areas of chemistry. Graduates develop skills and capabilities for autonomous work in professional and academic activities and can access the PhD programme. A “Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling” European Master is also offered (www.emtccm.org). Graduates will work to promote and develop scientific and technological innovation, covering high responsibility roles in industry, environment, health and public administration fields.

The unit is composed entirely of full professors and teachers with tenure and it has never made use of contracts or other forms of precarious employment for all the basic teachings. The range of courses is extensive. It is divided into two curricula. In teaching, special attention is devoted to the preparation of students in the writing of history: all courses include written forms of exercise. Contacts with the students are facilitated by an excellent web page . The program prepares students to enter the world of education, libraries, archives, museums, journalism, publishing.

Research is a key objective. The course includes authoritative and appreciated scholars of medieval history, religious history, modern and contemporary history. Students are prepared to research in libraries and archives, also in sight of a possible doctorate. Research interests cultivated in this unit extend from global history to regional history (but not only local history, because Friuli Venezia Giulia, including Trieste and Friuli, is collocated between Venice and Central Europe).

Medieval history, Modern history, Global history

The program in History, by teacher-led classes with discussions and assignments, aims at introducing the students to the essentials of historical knowledge and methodology. In the first two years it provides a basic introduction to the methodology and main problems of classical Greek-Roman history and medieval, early modern and contemporary history of Europe. The third year is more focussed on area studies, such as history of single Western nation-States and of Eastern Europe, the relationship between European and non-European history, gender history, art history, theory of historiography.

The programme is oriented towards medieval and modern history, in a global and regional perspective; it is oriented towards research in libraries and archives, in medieval history (in which context, paleography courses are included) and in contemporary history, which also includes courses of Global History, History of the United States, history of France, Jewish history. Relations with anthropology are very intense.
