The degree program in Science and Technologies for Sustainable Foods (STALs) provides the knowledge and skills necessary to develop professional competencies that enable graduates to work proficiently in the fields of food and beverage production, preservation, and distribution, as well as in related sectors. The course structure is designed to ensure a solid foundation in basic disciplines and an in-depth study of core subjects.
The science and technology supporting sustainable food production encompass a range of knowledge and skills related to the environmental, industrial, and economic sustainability of food processes, as well as food supply security, safety, preservation, and protection. Graduates of the STALs program are trained to contribute to a modern food industry that is both highly productive and aware of the importance of food sustainability. The program prepares professionals capable of maintaining high-quality standards in small, medium, and large food enterprises.
Graduates may also work in public and private organizations engaged in analysis, monitoring, certification, and research to protect and promote food products. Furthermore, their expertise extends to companies supplying materials, equipment, aids, and ingredients related to food production.
Educational Objectives
The program's objectives address general aspects of food systems and food sustainability, enabling graduates to understand the entire process of food transformation and preservation. They learn to verify and improve the quality of food products and by-products through the sustainable use of ingredients, additives, aids, and optimized technologies for food processing and packaging.

Initial knowledge required Qualifications and knowledge required for admission To be admitted to bachelor's degree in "Science and Technologies for Sustainable Food", you must have a secondary school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad and recognized as suitable. Basic knowledge of mathematics, general chemistry, physics, cell biology, and logic skills are a prerequisite. An integration of the knowledge of mathematics obtained in secondary schools other than scientific high school is a fundamental requirement for tackling the course of study. Methods of verifying knowledge and personal preparation Access to the course is regulated by a mandatory test, aimed at ascertaining the initial preparation of the students, in terms of minimum knowledge requirements of basic scientific disciplines and understanding of elementary logic. The test is carried out using the TOLC-AV platform (Test OnLine CISIA); the test is provided by various universities and the location of the test is not binding for subsequent enrolment. Details relating to dates, times, places, and methods of carrying out the test and admission requirements will be made available in the notice published on the website www.unimi.it The access procedures for students from other Degree Courses of the University of Milan, from other Universities or already graduates are disclosed each year in the call for applications available on the University website. The recognition of credits will be carried out by a teaching commission set up by the teaching college.

The deadline for passing the OFA coincides with the deadline for the exam session of the academic year of enrolment. The OFA can be fulfilled by attending and passing a final test of the alignment course in Mathematics. The OFA can also be fulfilled by passing the Elements of Calculus course included in the study plan by the deadline of the exam session of the academic year of enrolment. In the event of failure to complete the OFA (or failure to pass the Elements of Calculus exam) within the first year of the course, the student is prevented from taking the second- and third-year exams.
