The primary objective of the Master's Degree program in Chemical Sciences is to train specialized graduates in chemical sciences who can competently apply chemical procedures and protocols, develop and characterize new products and materials, experiment with new technologies, conduct chemical analyses, and perform quality controls requiring full mastery of chemical and instrumental techniques. Additionally, graduates will be capable of processing acquired data, preparing reports on analysis results, and conducting laboratory tests to develop new products.


Within this framework, the Master?s Degree program aligns with European standards for the teaching of Chemical Sciences, aiming to provide specific competencies, particularly in chemical disciplines and their applications. Graduates will be able to provide expert opinions in pure and applied chemistry and perform all activities defined by current legislation related to the profession of chemist.


Another specific objective of the program is to enable students to immediately enter professional practice or pursue further advanced studies (Ph.D. or Master's programs). Consequently, the program aims to provide students with comprehensive mastery of scientific methods and content in the chemical field, facilitating a smooth transition into the workforce or further academic pursuits.


In detail, graduates of this program will have:


Specialized and in-depth knowledge of various branches of chemistry, including theoretical and experimental aspects;

Complete mastery of the scientific method of inquiry;

Full autonomy in the workplace, enabling them to hold high-responsibility roles in project development and organizational structures;

Expertise in techniques for understanding phenomena at the molecular level and specialized skills in specific areas of chemistry and biochemistry;

The ability to apply innovative methods and techniques and operate complex equipment;

Advanced knowledge of modern synthesis methodologies for chemical compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, bio-organic and bio-inorganic molecules, new materials, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts;

Proficiency in the spectroscopic and structural characterization of chemical compounds, including materials used in cultural heritage;

A solid foundation for applying theoretical methods of simulation and computational modeling to chemical systems;

A strong understanding of mathematical and computational tools for support;

The ability to use at least one European Union language fluently, in both written and spoken forms, in addition to Italian;

The adaptability to keep pace with the continuous evolution of chemical disciplines and interact with closely related professional fields.


Graduates may register (after passing the relevant state examination) with the National Order of Chemists and Physicists as CHEMISTS (Section B ? Chemistry), to perform activities recognized under current regulations.

Requirements and Knowledge for Admission Graduates holding a degree in the L-27 class of Chemical Sciences and Technologies are eligible for admission to the Master's Degree Program in Chemical Sciences. Graduates from other degree classes, as well as those holding a qualification obtained abroad that is recognized as suitable, may also apply, provided they meet the following curricular requirements:
-> At least 20 ECTS credits in mathematics (from MAT/01 to MAT/09), physics (from FIS/01 to FIS/08), and computer science (INF/01; ING-INF/05); ->At least 70 ECTS credits in the scientific-disciplinary sectors of the core areas of the L-27 class table: - Analytical, environmental, and cultural heritage (CHIM/01 and CHIM/12); - Inorganic and physical chemistry (CHIM/02 and CHIM/03); - Organic and biochemical (CHIM/06, BIO/10, BIO/11, and BIO/12); - Industrial and technological (CHIM/04, CHIM/05, ING-IND/21, ING-IND/22, and ING-IND/25).
Any presence of ECTS credits in scientific-disciplinary sectors not included among those listed will be evaluated by the admission committee of the Degree Program.
In addition to the above curricular requirements, adequate personal preparation is required.
Verification of Knowledge and Personal Preparation Before undergoing the knowledge assessment for enrollment, students must submit an application for admission via an online procedure, within the period and according to the methods indicated on the website https://scienzechimiche.cdl.unimi.it/it/iscriversi, where updated information on admission and subsequent enrollment procedures can also be found. Admission applications can also be submitted by candidates intending to graduate by December 31, 2025.
Knowledge and personal preparation will be assessed through an interview with a committee on topics related to the core subjects of the Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Sciences. A negative outcome in the interview results in the exclusion of all students, graduates, and undergraduates, from accessing the Master's Degree Program for the current year. The interview will be conducted in June, July, September, and December, and it can also take place before the degree is awarded, provided the above-mentioned curricular requirements are met.
For non-EU students who may face visa and/or residence permit issues, an interview will also be scheduled during late April to May, which may be conducted remotely via a video conferencing platform. These students are strongly advised to take advantage of this opportunity to avoid the risk of failing to obtain all the necessary documentation for enrollment in time.
