Presentation
Why choose this programme
you will investigate the behaviour and rules governing the transformation of matter, learn innovative techniques for the synthesis and characterisation of new substances and materials, and apply your knowledge to scientific, environmental, and social challenges, with a particular emphasis on green and sustainable transition
you can choose from three curricula: Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, and Biomolecular Chemistry. You will learn to interconnect chemical knowledge with its technological, industrial, and biomolecular applications
develop the ability to suggest solutions in different fields, such as chemistry, molecular biology, nanomaterials, energy sources, and environmentally sustainable chemical production
Overview
The programme stands out for its innovative and integrated approach to sustainable industrial and biomolecular chemistry. Teaching focuses on developing original ideas and methodologies for designing new sustainable chemical processes, both in research and in applied and industrial contexts, through sustainable and green chemistry.
It provides an in-depth understanding of the interaction between chemical production, biology and the environment, applying various tools from chemistry and biomolecular chemistry to address complex challenges in the transformation and production of new substances and materials.
By the end of the programme, you will have acquired an advanced level of expertise in sustainable and green chemistry and technology, as well as in biomolecular and biotechnological research, within a multi- and interdisciplinary environment.
You can choose from three study curricula: Biomolecular Chemistry (entirely taught in English), Chemistry, or Industrial Chemistry.
Opinions
Programme coordinator
"Chemistry is a fundamental discipline within the natural sciences. This Master’s programme focuses on advanced, environmentally friendly, and sustainable chemical processes, as well as innovative chemical and biomolecular technologies. Graduates will acquire the scientific skills necessary to support the well-being of society and the environment. One third of the programme involves active learning through teaching laboratories and experimental research placements for the dissertation."
