Courses in Chemistry

Chemistry is the science that studies matter and its transformations, and underpins countless industrial sectors: pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, materials, energy and the environment. Master's programmes in Chemistry give graduates the chance to specialise in applied fields, acquire advanced laboratory skills and learn about the processes and regulations that govern the chemical industry.

The programmes include analytical and instrumental chemistry, organic and pharmaceutical chemistry, materials and polymer chemistry, industrial chemistry, green and sustainable chemistry, environmental chemistry, cosmetology, food chemistry, chemical safety and REACH regulation, quality control and laboratory management. Lessons integrate theory and practice, with laboratory experience and testimonials from chemical and pharmaceutical companies.

A master's in Chemistry lets you develop skills in using advanced analytical instrumentation, interpreting data, designing and optimising processes, managing chemical safety and developing new materials and formulations. You also learn to assess the environmental impact of processes and to seek more sustainable solutions, in line with the principles of green chemistry.

Career opportunities include analytical chemist, laboratory manager, quality manager, process chemist, formulator, research and development specialist, chemical safety and regulation expert, environmental technician and consultant. Opportunities exist in chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, textile and materials industries, analysis laboratories, control bodies and research centres.

The transition towards more sustainable and circular processes, materials innovation and advanced pharmaceuticals fuel constant demand for specialised chemists, in Italy and abroad.

Many master's programmes include internships at companies and laboratories, which let you put what you have learned into practice and come into contact with future employers.

The path is suitable for graduates in chemistry, industrial chemistry, pharmacy, biotechnology, chemical engineering and materials science, but also for technicians already working in companies who want to update their skills.
