Overview

Chemistry graduates from The University of Milan, will:

• have the ability to apply their knowledge and understanding, and problem solving abilities, in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to chemical sciences;

• have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgements with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgements;

• have the ability to communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously;

• have developed those learning skills that will allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous, and to take responsibility for their own professional development.

Career

The students with the degree in Chemical Sciences would be entitled to work in public and private-owned laboratories as highly qualified scientists.

 They could supervise the planning, production and characterization of new products and/or new materials, collaborate in the development of novel technologies, elaborate reports, handle and present chemical information. 

They could find positions in chemical industry, especially in pharmaceutical and fine chemicals companies, but also in the agrochemical, cosmetic and food chemistry, or teach Chemistry in High Schools.
