Industrial Chemistry

The degree programme in Industrial Chemistry aims to provide not only a sound basic scientific and chemical culture, but also the technological culture required to understand the development and management of industrial processes as well as the development of products and materials. The programme's first year is dedicated to basic scientific training, the second to in-depth chemical training and the third to technological training. The curriculum provides for the acquisition of the following knowledge: - basic elements of mathematics, physics; - basic principles of general chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry with regard to methods of synthesis, characterisation and structure-property relations and the related experimental and instrumental aspects; - basic aspects of industrial chemical production and process technology, with a view to recognising the product-process connection; - synthesis, properties and structure of the main materials, with particular reference to the synthesis, properties and structure of polymers; - ethical aspects related to the handling of chemicals, their production and use. Prerequisites for identifying the hazards of different productions and the means to operate in complete safety; - fundamental aspects of chemical plant engineering; - fundamental aspects of environmental chemistry. Graduates in Industrial Chemistry must be able to use the English and the Italian language effectively, in written and oral form, in the specific field of competence and for the exchange of general information. The competences and skills acquired enable graduates to carry out appropriate activities in specific professional fields, to interact with culturally related professions, and to continue their studies in relevant 2nd cycle degree programmes or Professional Master's Programmes (1st Level).

Admission to the first cycle degree programme in Industrial Chemistry requires possession of a five-year high school degree or other qualification obtained abroad recognised as suitable in accordance with current regulations. The following basic logical-mathematical knowledge and competences are also required:- Ability to think logically,- Text comprehension skills,- Knowledge of the fundamentals of mathematics.The methods for verifying the knowledge required for admission are defined in the degree programme teaching regulations.If the assessment is not positive, additional learning requirements will be specified (OFA), the completion of which is subject to a separate testStudents who do not complete the additional learning requirements by the date established by the competent bodies and, in any case, by the end of the first year of the degree programme must repeat enrolment in the same year.
