Presentation

a degree in Chemistry will enable you to understand the composition, behaviour and transformation processes of matter at the molecular scale. You will learn to synthesise new substances and materials, and to understand their structure and properties, as well as predict their behaviour. You will explore the principles of sustainable chemistry and thus contribute to the development of a cleaner and safer chemical industry

after building your fundamental knowledge in the first two years, your third year offers the flexibility to select from four modern Chemistry curricula: Biomolecular Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Solid State and Materials Chemistry, and Green Chemistry. This enables you to apply your skills across key areas such as sustainable production, biomolecules, and nanomaterials

you will take part in extensive laboratory work, where you will directly experiment with many of the topics covered in lectures. In the laboratories, you will work closely with lecturers and tutors, with access to modern facilities and advanced scientific equipment

the main employment sectors are in chemistry and sustainable development. You may work in companies and laboratories involved in the production, processing and marketing of traditional and advanced substances and materials, as well as in the innovative, sustainable chemical industry

you may choose to continue your studies at Master’s level, for example on the degree programmes in Chemistry and Sustainable Technologies or Science and Technology of Bio and Nanomaterials offered at Ca’ Foscari

you may also sit the State Examination in order to enrol in the Italian Register of Chemists (Section B) and practise as a self-employed professional
