The first specific training objective of the Master's Degree Course in Sustainable Industrial Chemistry is the training of a graduate specialised in industrial chemical sciences and technologies, who is able to competently apply procedures and protocols proper to industrial chemistry, develop and characterise new products and materials at an industrial level and in a sustainable manner, experiment new technologies and develop new processes characterised by a better environmental footprint, conduct chemical analyses and quality controls, also at the level of prevention, safety and environmental protection, which require full mastery of chemical and instrumental techniques. Furthermore, the master's degree graduate is able to conduct the subsequent processing of the acquired data, prepare reports on the results of the analyses, and carry out laboratory tests and trials for the development of new products, assess the environmental impact of the proposed processes and products.


Even more importantly, graduates with a master's degree in Sustainable Industrial Chemistry are able to develop innovative process schemes and plants for the exploitation of resources, raw materials and renewable energies, for the valorisation of waste and scrap materials, and for energy efficiency, with a view to promoting a circular economy and improving the environmental impact of production processes. All this is incorporated into the training programme with a view to the economic sustainability of the plants designed, so as to ensure their full and real feasibility, introducing the most modern methods of quantifying not only costs but also the main profitability indices of chemical plants. Similarly, sustainability is quantified, proposing logic and metrics for its precise quantification and implementation according to scientific standards. In this context, the master's degree course complies with European standards for the teaching of industrial chemistry, aiming to provide specific skills with particular regard to industrial chemistry disciplines and their applications. Graduates will be able to provide advice on industrial and applied chemistry and carry out any other activity defined by current legislation in relation to the profession of industrial chemist. Another specific objective of the degree course in Sustainable Industrial Chemistry is to enable students to immediately enter the professional world or, if desired, to continue with further higher education (PhD or Master's degree). Therefore, the course aims to provide students with a complete mastery of scientific methods and content in chemistry, with particular attention to issues of environmental, economic and safety sustainability, in order to facilitate smooth entry into the world of work or access to further training.


Finally, industry, including the chemical industry, is increasingly making use of the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence and process modelling in order to improve and optimise production processes, also with a view to greater environmental and economic sustainability. Graduates in Sustainable Industrial Chemistry will acquire basic knowledge of these aspects in the core courses and will be able to deepen their understanding through dedicated optional courses. In particular, the foundations will be laid for the profitable and responsible use of these new tools, with a focus on various machine learning models. In addition, various IT tools will be proposed for in silico process design and optimisation, as well as for the creation of "digital twins".
