Campo cerca
Environmental sustainability is a central theme for the development of contemporary society, reaffirmed by inserting the protection of the environment, biodiversity, and ecosystems among the fundamental principles of the Italian Republic through the modification of Art. 9 of the Constitution.
Training in new occupational opportunities (green jobs) needs a high practical-operating capacity, anchored on a solid cultural heritage founded on biological principles in planning, application, and verification of environmental sustainability in all areas, including an effective ecological transition of productive processes, which can enhance natural capital and contribute to human well-being.
The course is characterized by a combination of biodiversity and environmental sciences, including biomolecular contents and methods. This training allows an integrated approach at all the different organization levels of biology (molecular, cellular, organism, species, and community). Biodiversity and environment sciences are dedicated to the knowledge of biological resources (natural capital), processes, and sustainability, while those of the biomolecular sector will provide advanced knowledge and techniques at the molecular and cellular levels. Disciplines of specialization are most present in the second year. Students will be able to acquire skills in the cellular-molecular field or insights into issues related to agroecosystems and sustainable production approaches.
Lessons are held in Italian, but candidates must have an internationally recognized certification for the English language at level B2 (or higher).
Candidates must hold a first-level degree (three-year) obtained by February 28th, 2024, in the classes L-2 (Biotechnology) or L-13 (Biological Sciences) or any other first-level degree obtained in Italy or abroad, which is considered equivalent according to the current legislation. In the latter case, the candidate’s previous career must include biology, agronomy, mathematics and informatics, and chemistry credits.

Candidates satisfying the above requirements will have to take an interview with a committee of the Degree Course, aimed at verifying their preparation.The schedule for the interviews will be published on the Course web page.A negative outcome of the interview will preclude access to the Course for the current year.
Candidates who do not possess an internationally recognized certification for English language at level B2 (or higher), or who have not attended a first cycle course entirely held in English, will be required to attend a full-immersion course of Scientific English (offered in the second half of September 2022), and pass the corresponding exam.
If you are a EU National, you may stay in Italy for as long as you like: you only need a passport or ID card.If you are a NON-EU National, you'll have to carry out some formalities.
