Master’s Degree in Industrial Chemistry for the Circular Economy and Bioeconomy

The Master's Degree in Industrial Chemistry for the Circular Economy and Bioeconomy is a two-year course of the University of Naples Federico II, carried out in collaboration with the Politecnico di Torino. The page does not list the courses or the credits. The circular economy and the bioeconomy call for chemical processes able to reuse materials and to use renewable resources. The course addresses industrial chemistry with this orientation, a very topical issue for businesses and environmental policies, and the collaboration with the Politecnico di Torino adds a link with a leading technical university.

The course is delivered in English and in mixed mode: up to two thirds of the activities may take place online, while the remaining ones are held in person in Naples. For the internship the page speaks generically of opportunities, without details. Price and start date are not stated. The mixed mode makes it possible to follow up to two thirds of the activities online, with the others in person in Naples, and can make things easier for those who do not live in the city or who work. Delivery in English makes the programme suitable for foreign students as well, but requires a good knowledge of the language, the level of which the page does not state.

The aim is to train experts in industrial chemistry oriented towards the circular economy and the bioeconomy. The career opportunities mentioned include chemical synthesis analyst, circular economy expert and environmental engineer. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics, obtained in Italy or abroad. The aim is to train experts able to find a place in roles such as chemical synthesis analyst, circular economy expert or environmental engineer. Access is open to bachelor's graduates in Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics, in Italy or abroad. To find out credits, internship and costs the call for applications must be consulted, because the page does not specify them. Before applying it is advisable to compare this information with that published on the university's official website, which may be more up to date than the page. It is also advisable to contact the department's teaching office to clarify any doubts about attendance, lesson calendar, assessment methods and organisation of the final exam. 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. It may also be useful to ask whether information sessions or orientation days are held, in which lecturers present the course and answer candidates' questions. Finally, it is advisable to check the application deadlines and the documents to attach, because enrolment deadlines may be short and vary from one academic year to the next.
