This joint master's degree, delivered jointly by two Italian universities, prepares students to develop new processes and products for the chemical industry through the lens of the circular and bio economy, reflecting a growing emphasis on cross-disciplinary training to support the transition toward a greener, more sustainable economy.

Because students join with varying academic backgrounds, the first semester offers one of two alignment paths to build a shared foundation. One path deepens knowledge in biochemistry, microbiology, and biotechnology, aimed at students whose prior studies leaned toward the biological sciences, with a focus on the aspects of each discipline most relevant to the program's applied themes.

The other path deepens knowledge in inorganic, organic, analytical, and physical chemistry, aimed at students whose prior studies leaned more toward core chemistry, again with an emphasis on theoretical and experimental aspects relevant to the program's applied focus. This first semester combines online instruction with in-person teaching workshops held at the end of the term.

From the second semester onward, all students follow a shared curriculum delivered in person, building a solid grounding in industrial chemistry, biotechnology, and chemical plant operations. Training progresses from laboratory-based research through the development and management of pilot plants to an understanding of the structure and operation of full industrial plants, preparing students to develop, manage, and evaluate products, materials, and processes at an industrial scale, within the bounds of sustainable chemistry and applicable ethical standards.

Students can choose to take on a real-world challenge proposed by an industry partner in place of standard elective coursework, building practical expertise geared toward the job market. The program concludes with an internship and a dissertation, both carried out in close collaboration with companies working in the circular and bio economy sector, involving laboratory work, the processing and synthesis of research findings, and the presentation of results.

Admission requires certified English proficiency at CEFR level B2, which can also be completed during the first year of study if not already held at enrollment. Applicants must also satisfy one of three academic background pathways: a degree from an Italian program specifically in chemical sciences and technologies; a degree from a related Italian program, such as biotechnology, biological sciences, or industrial engineering, provided the applicant has completed at least 8 credits in mathematics, 6 in physics, 15 in chemistry, and 15 in related subjects such as agricultural, biological, or industrial-engineering sciences; or a foreign degree, such as in chemistry, chemical engineering, biotechnology, or biology, with content equivalent to one of the above. Applicants must also have completed their most recent degree within the past seven years and have achieved a graduation grade of at least 65%.

The admissions process requires submitting a set of application materials, including a CV, bachelor's degree certificate, diploma supplement, passport copy, English proficiency certificate, and a motivational letter, along with any recommendation letters. Shortlisted applicants complete an online interview in which they present their bachelor's thesis or final academic project.

This bachelor's program provides a rigorous, research-oriented education in chemistry, built on a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and the core chemical disciplines, and is well suited to students who want to understand chemical phenomena from the molecular to the macroscopic level, enjoy problem-solving and experimental work, and are motivated by challenges in sustainability, materials science, health, and environmental protection. It is delivered over three years in English.

The program opens with introductory mathematics and elementary physics tailored for chemistry students, along with applied mathematics, building the quantitative foundation for the rest of the degree.

The core curriculum covers general chemistry and laboratory safety, a two-part inorganic chemistry sequence, and a two-part organic chemistry sequence, each paired with hands-on laboratory practice, along with chemical thermodynamics and reaction kinetics, electrochemistry, surface and colloid science, and physical chemistry laboratory work. Students also study the fundamentals of analytical chemistry with its own laboratory component, the chemistry of natural organic compounds, digital chemistry, instrumental analysis, and environmental chemistry, complete a required internship, and round out their studies with optional coursework and a thesis.

Laboratory training begins early and continues throughout the degree, with students gaining increasing independence as they progress, supported by strong integration between theoretical coursework and experimental work. Students also have access to a modern, AI-integrated laboratory environment, where they gain hands-on experience with automated measurement systems and wireless data-collection tools, alongside digital skills such as big data management and practical programming in Python.

Students can pursue the degree through a general track or choose to specialize further in analytical chemistry or theoretical chemistry.

Graduates go on to further study in MSc or PhD programs in chemistry or related fields, or pursue careers in chemical laboratories, analytical and quality control units, and research and development, as well as interdisciplinary sectors such as materials science, environmental analysis, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals. Typical roles include laboratory technician or junior chemist, quality control or quality assurance associate, research assistant, environmental or chemical analysis technician, or technical specialist supporting chemical instrumentation and laboratory operations.

Applicants must submit their secondary school certificate and records from their final two years of secondary school, along with a CV, a motivation letter, and a valid passport copy with photo.
