Course Overview

The Bachelor Degree in Chemistry offers a broad training covering the main theoretical and applicative aspects of the various fields of chemistry, enabling students to acquire, at the end of the course, a comprehensive, detailed and coherent knowledge that will enable them to orient themselves independently in the continuation of their education (Master's Degree) or in their choice of professional activity.
The course's educational objectives are achieved by providing students with

- A sound basic training in mathematical and physical disciplines, which is indispensable for understanding and representing chemical phenomena;

- A comprehensive knowledge of general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry, with a rigorous correlation between theoretical principles and experimental and applied aspects;

- A thorough knowledge of the main experimental techniques in chemistry and in the use of the most widely used instruments for the chemical and chemico-physical characterisation of matter;

- A deep understanding of the correlation between structure and properties of molecules combined with the skills required for the synthesis and modification of the main classes of molecules;

- A deep understanding of the scientific method, the characteristics and modalities of research in chemistry and the application of its methodologies in other disciplines;

- An acquisition of the necessary experimental knowledge to ensure familiarity with standard chemical laboratory procedures through intensive laboratory work;

- A knowledge and skills to adapt to the teaching and evolution of the discipline and to interact with culturally contiguous professions

   

The course includes intense laboratory work, distributed over approximately 40 CFU, corresponding to approximately 480 hours of actual student attendance in the facilities dedicated to teaching laboratories. The requirement for obtaining the three-year degree is the acquisition of 180 CFU, acquired by passing 20 exams and the final exam. The various opportunities for graduates in Chemistry include:

Employment in companies in the chemical, biochemical, advanced materials, energy, oil, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food, manufacturing sectors;

Employment in public and private laboratories;

Exercise a free professional activity after the state exam and registration in the professional register;

Public employment and teaching;

Research at universities and national and international centers;

To enroll in the degree course without educational debts, it is necessary to have obtained a diploma grade of no less than 80/100 and a grade in mathematics of no less than 7. If one of the two conditions is not met, it will be necessary to take a mathematics exam to pay off the educational debt.
