Bachelor of Biological Sciences

The Degree Programme in Biological Sciences aims to train graduates with solid basic knowledge in the main fields of modern Biology, who have a good command of experimental and analytical methodologies and of the most advanced technologies inherent to the relevant fields of scientific investigation, who possess a grounding that enables them to understand and assimilate the scientific and technological advances that are occurring ever more rapidly in the field of Life Sciences and know and correctly study living organisms at all levels of organisation, from molecular to microbial, animal, plant and human biodiversity.

In detail, students will acquire competences in non-biological fields including computer science, mathematics and statistics, physics, chemistry and language skills, which are prerequisites for the acquisition of competences in biological fields such as cytology and histology, zoology, plant biology, comparative anatomy, ecology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, animal and plant physiology, microbiology, human biology and hygiene. At the same time, students will acquire skills in the management of experimental activities, as well as in the implementation of good laboratory methods and practice.

By carrying out an experimental internship at university facilities or institutions/companies, students will also acquire knowledge of the complex world of work in the biological sector, and will have the opportunity to appreciate the relationship between university training and professional activities, not only in the area of specific production, but also in organisational and management terms.

This programme is available in Italian.
