Overview

From Elements to Excellence, from Lab to Life: Drive Solutions through Chemistry

Our Master’s degree in Chemistry provides advanced knowledge of pure and applied chemistry, cultivating skills in research, experimentation, and analytical techniques over a period of two years. The programme emphasises both theoretical understanding and practical applications, preparing students for various research and industry roles in the field of chemistry. Even though most subjects are taught in Italian, students will still find a number of courses delivered in English, preparing them for an international work environment.

As one of the first programmes in Europe to gain the EuroMaster® Label, this Master’s degree meets European quality standards and offers several international mobility opportunities through Erasmus+ and global partnerships.

What You’ll Learn

Over the two years of the programme, you will acquire:

  • 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 characterisation of chemical compounds, including materials used in cultural heritage
  • solid theoretical foundations for applying computational modelling and simulation to chemical systems
  • practical skills in the application of chemical procedures and protocols and the performance quality controls
  • the ability to develop novel products and smart materials and to experiment with new technologies.

Why Choose Our Master’s Degree in Chemistry

  • International Recognition – Certified with the EuroMaster® Label, with many courses taught in English
  • Global Opportunities – Erasmus+ exchanges and two double degree options (with Université Paris Cité or Université de Strasbourg)
  • Hands-On Experience – Extensive laboratory work and research projects
  • Tailor-made learning experience – Possibility of choosing the subjects and courses that better align with your interests.


Programme Structure

The Master’s degree in Chemistry offers two alternative study tracks, a.k.a. curricula:

  • Analytical and Physical Chemistry Sciences and Technologies, focusing on the theoretical principles of chemical processes, the structural and functional characteristics of molecules and materials, and the main techniques for quantitative and qualitative chemical analysis
  • Molecules and Materials : Design, Synthesis and Applications, with a more practical approach and a focus on the applications of chemical synthesis in life sciences and new technologies.

Within each curriculum, students can fully customise their learning journey by choosing from a wide range of specialist courses, many of which are taught in English (e.g. Technology-driven organic synthesis, Chemometrics, Patents and management of innovation, etc.).

During the second year, all students undertake an experimental internship (15 ECTS ), followed by a thesis laboratory (24 ECTS ). Both the internship and the thesis laboratory can be carried out at the University of Milan or at other partner institutions, also abroad.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of this programme are prepared for diverse and high-impact roles in chemical and pharmaceutical companies, international research laboratories, consulting firms, and public bodies working in chemistry-related fields (environmental protection, healthcare, cultural heritage just to name a few).

Where Your Degree Can Take You

Thanks to your advanced understanding of basic and applied chemistry and your excellent research skills, you will be able to pursue various roles, such as:

  • Chemist (employee or freelancer) — conducting qualitative and quantitative analyses on natural or synthetic substances, improving the synthesis of known substances and synthesising new ones, etc.
  • Quality Assurance Manager — coordinating internal and external resources involved in the production of chemicals to make sure that the QA system is efficient, controlled, and documented
  • Chemical Laboratory Manager — establishing the overall goals of the lab in line with company strategies, assigning technical and human resources to the various projects, proposing investments and formulating budgets, etc.
  • Chemical Sales Representative — introducing company products (e.g. food supplements, dyes, detergents, glues) to potential clients, explaining their characteristics and properties, etc.

Whatever your future job title will be, this degree is your first step to turn your passion for chemistry into a global career!
