Characteristics and objectives
The Bachelor Degree in Chemistry provides the student with a good preparation in the different fields of chemistry, both in terms of theoretical and experimental aspects. The training course, after providing basic physico-mathematical knowledge, focuses on basic chemical disciplines. Several courses are provided in the most important areas of chemistry, comprising classroom teaching for theoretical and descriptive contents and exercises, and laboratory activity for applied aspects. Intensive laboratory training is envisaged, which, in addition to acquiring the necessary experimental skills, provides adequate knowledge of the typical procedures of chemical laboratories: management and safety standards, and acquaintance with modern instrumentation of chemical interest. Training in chemical disciplines also includes specific courses of biological chemistry and chemistry applied to industrial processes. There is a course called 'Elements for Choice of a Profession' in which various issues related to job market access will be addressed.

Occupational opportunities
The graduate has several job opportunities that mainly concern industry as well as research and analysis laboratories at both private and public companies (Regional Agencies for Environmental Protection, Local Health Companies, National Research Council, Universities, etc.), and also health care, energy and the preservation of cultural heritage. Another perspective is counseling (also as a freelancer, limited to the skills acquired within the bachelor degree), especially in the fields of analysis and control, environmental and civil protection.

From Bachelor's degree to Master's degree
The course gives access to the Master Degree in Chemistry, as detailed in the specific admission notice.
