This master's program delivers an in-depth education in cellular and genetic engineering within biotechnology, combining a strong scientific core with hands-on laboratory training and research. The curriculum consists of compulsory segments: a master’s thesis (completed in two parts), a major package, a minor package, and elective courses. Core topics include advanced genetics, immunology, plant and animal physiology, microbial and nanobiology, bioinformatics, applied computational biology, and molecular biotechnology. Students also explore applications through courses like applied plant, animal, medical, and synthetic biotechnology. They must select a minor (general, thematic, or reorientation) of at least 17 ECTS, covering specialized areas such as health engineering, environmental coordination, entrepreneurship, or data science. The program features practicals, seminars, project management, and the option of an internship.

To apply for this master's program, candidates must hold an academic bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering (such as bioscience, biomedical, civil, electrical, or a related field) or an equivalent qualification. The degree must include substantial coursework in mathematics, statistics, physics, and general engineering, as well as at least some courses in biology and physiology. Applicants should have graduated with at least a second class upper result or its equivalent from a recognized institution. All candidates must demonstrate English language proficiency unless their previous degree was fully taught in English in Australia, English-speaking Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, or the USA. Accepted English tests include TOEFL iBT (minimum 94), IELTS Academic (minimum 7.0), and Cambridge Advanced/Proficiency (minimum 185), each with minimum required subscores.

This master's program focuses on topics such as environmental policy, technologies, and interdisciplinary research. Students can specialize in three areas: Environment Engineering, which covers water treatment, waste management, and sustainable technologies; Circular Bioeconomy, emphasizing biobased products, bioenergy, and rural development; and Climate Neutrality and Sustainability Management, focusing on carbon economy, environmental auditing, and sustainable planning. The curriculum also includes an internship, soft skills training, and a final master's thesis.

This master's program is open to students with a background in engineering or natural sciences, or those from social sciences, commercial sciences, or law with relevant experience. Applicants from the latter fields must have at least one year of work experience related to environmental engineering and/or have completed at least six credits in environmental engineering coursework. The program welcomes interdisciplinary knowledge combined with practical experience in environmental fields.

This master's program focuses on food technology, quality management, and industrial microbiology. Students study enzymology, thermal and emergent processes, alcoholic drink production, and technologies for plant- and animal-based products. The program includes seminars and electives from any scientific area, and concludes with a dissertation, project, or placement in the second year.

Applicants must hold a degree in Food Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Biotechnology, Nutrition, or related areas, obtained under Bologna Process standards or officially recognized. Candidates with relevant academic, scientific, or professional experience may also apply. Proof of B1 or B2 level language proficiency is required unless secondary education was completed in the course language.

The Molecular and Cell Biology program provides advanced training in cellular and molecular mechanisms relevant to health, disease, and biotechnology. Core topics include bioinformatics, neurobiology, genetics, virology, biochemistry, and non-coding RNA. Students can tailor their studies through electives in cancer biology, functional genetics, and protein science methods. A strong research focus is emphasized, culminating in an extended final examination project or internship. International students without prior Italian knowledge must take a language course before graduation.

To be admitted to the Molecular and Cell Biology program, candidates must hold a three-year degree or equivalent qualification in biology, biotechnology, or a related field. Those with degrees in other areas may still qualify if they have earned at least 45 ECTS in key biological disciplines and 18 ECTS in physics, mathematics, or chemistry. Admission also requires passing a skills assessment. Proficiency in English at the B2 level is mandatory, certified through recognized exams or previous studies. Non-Italian speakers must reach B2 proficiency in Italian, with required language courses included in their study plan if necessary. EU students typically pay around €1,200/year based on family income. Non-EU students usually pay a fixed fee of about €1,400/year. Check with the university for your exact fee.
