Master’s Degree in Chemistry

The Master's Degree in Chemistry is offered by the Department of Science and High Technology of the University of Insubria. It covers the fundamental disciplines of chemistry, from the design to the synthesis and analysis of materials, with attention to energy, the environment and industrial production. It emphasises green chemistry and the circular economy and offers practical laboratory training. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The programme lasts two years and is held in person in Como.

The aim is to offer advanced training to contribute to the environmental and technological challenges of the future through research and practical application. The career opportunities include access to Section A of the Order of Chemists as Senior Chemist, chemical industries, research laboratories and public and private bodies in the environment, health, safety, energy and cultural heritage sectors. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
