Chemistry is a fast-evolving basic science, with strong connections to any aspect of human life, environment, nature, and technological development. Chemistry research activities involve planning, developing, and investigating cutting-edge processes and materials impacting on both basic knowledge and industrial applications. Chemistry plays a key role in moving forward to healthier societies and sustainable development, by reducing the impact and increasing the efficiency of industrial processes (green chemistry), decreasing consumption of resources and wastes (circular economy), and fostering the use of renewable energy.

The Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry belongs to the L-27 class (Chemical Sciences and Technologies). As required by the rules of this class, the fundamental and characterizing courses of the educational plan offer the students theoretical, methodological and applied knowledge and skills in the four fundamental areas of chemistry (Analytical chemistry, Physical chemistry, Inorganic chemistry, Organic chemistry), as well as in Biochemistry and Polymers chemistry and technology. This knowledge is corroborated by an adequate preparation in Mathematics and Physics. Moreover, the educational plan enables the students to individually build up part of their career, privileging their cultural and professional interests, by means of electives. The latter aim to deepen the knowledge in one of the fundamental areas of Chemistry or to acquire transversal professionalizing skills. The students complete their career with the curricular traineeship, carrying out an experimental activity on a chemistry-related topic.

The educational plan provides the Bachelor’s laureates with a solid and versatile preparation, adequate to face the challenges characterizing the different fields of Chemistry and to meet the expectations of the labor market, with the duties and responsibilities of a Junior Chemist. The laureates can apply to the examination to be admitted as Junior Chemists to the professional register of the National Federation of Chemist and Physicist Practitioners (Federazione Nazionale degli Ordini dei Chimici e dei Fisici).

The Bachelor’s laureates in Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry can attend Master’s Degrees in Chemistry and related fields.

Lessons are held in Italian.
