Chemistry (M.S.)

The two-year Master's Degree Course in Chemistry (Class LM-54), active since 2010/11, has been designed to give ample space to the basic disciplines, both theoretical and experimental, so as to train a complete chemist and highly qualified, who will be able to enter the world of work in the application-industrial, teaching and research sectors (access to research doctorates and specialization schools).

The master's degree course aims to develop young people the ability to elaborate and apply original ideas to practical problems (in the productive or analytical field) or to scientific research.

The training course includes the acquisition of knowledge of quantum mechanics and the deepening of inorganic, organic and biological chemistry, in addition to macromolecular chemistry, which represents one of the strengths in the research of our University.

This path common to all students is integrated with optional and free choice courses which, together with the thesis, personalize the training of each graduate.

Graduates must be able to:

1) design and study a new chemical reaction,

2) realize and optimize the synthesis of new compounds or materials,

3) to develop new analytical and material characterization methods.

He must be able to master the scientific language and communicate effectively even with people without scientific culture. On the other hand, he will be able to dialogue by formulating judgments and proposals and discussing complex issues with other specialists. He will have received the continuous stimulus to study and cultural and professional updating, facilitated by the transmission of knowledge through the internet.

In the field of Didactics and Training, the University intends to support the general objectives through a constant and systematic expansion and updating of its training offer with a focus on innovative, attractive courses in line with changes in society and the work, which reflect the most advanced disciplinary knowledge, also in connection with the University's post-graduate training offer.

To facilitate the acquisition of students' transversal skills, also in order to facilitate their insertion into the world of work, the University promotes the participation by students in internships and curricular internships, co-designed with institutions/bodies/companies in agreement, preparatory and functional to outgoing orientation and job placement actions.

Furthermore, in order to meet the needs of students who have difficulty in attending frontal lectures, initiatives for the definition of e-learning and blended teaching offer are envisaged in the new University Didactic Regulations.

The strengthening of internationalization is supported by a constant expansion of the training offered in English and by the offer of international courses, double or joint degrees.

Finally, an important aspect in the implementation of policies concerns the commitment to the strengthening and simplification of online services for students by supporting the dematerialization of administrative documents.
