The impact of human activities on the environment and the consequences of environmental conditions on human health are the central issues of the educational objectives of the bachelor's degree in Toxicology for the human and environmental Safety.

This bachelor's programme in Toxicology for the Human and Environmental Safety is designed to train professionals capable of contributing to the improvement of the quality of the environment, through the identification, quantification, monitoring, and prevention of conditions capable of causing damage to human health.

The bachelor's programme in Toxicology for the human and environmental Safety enables students to have knowledge of:

- the chemical-physical characteristics of inorganic and organic molecules and their reactivity, with reference to environmental and toxicological problems - the cell biology, structure and function of biological molecules and organ pathophysiology - the mechanism of action of toxic substances and drugs and their effects on human health - the effect of human activities on the environment and human health - the quantification of inorganic and organic pollutants in the environment through chemical-analytical methods - the molecular basis of the main pathologic conditions, with particular attention to those related to environmental toxicity phenomena, including the workplace - the risk assessment procedures aimed at protecting the health of the population and workers - the analysis of nutrients, functional components and food contaminants - the basic experimental models for microbiological and toxicological analyses - the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of experimental data obtained from chemical or biological analyses - the English language, to access scientific literature and draw up documents at an international level. The bachelor's degree in Toxicology for the human and environmental Safety enables graduates to be directly employed in laboratories for chemical and biochemical analysis, organizations or companies dealing with workplace safety, environmental control and remediation, food product safety and control.

In addition, the bachelor's programme is also aimed at providing a solid interdisciplinary knowledge that allows graduates to attend to master's degrees in the biological, biotechnological, food and safety regulatory fields.

Admission Requirements

4+
42+
Admission requirements To be admitted to the bachelor's program, a secondary school diploma or other qualifications obtained abroad, recognized as suitable, are required. Admission requires adequate knowledge and skills to follow the bachelor's program successfully at the time of enrollment. These knowledge areas include fundamentals of basic mathematical calculations, physics, cell biology and general chemistry, logical skills, the ability to express oneself orally and in writing without hesitation or errors, a reasonable general culture, and adequate language skills at the B1 level.
Admission assessment The possession of these requirements will be verified through a mandatory, but not selective, assessment test TOLC-S or TOLC-F, to be taken before enrollment. The TOLC-S and TOLC-F can be taken at the University of Milan or any other location listed on the calendar available on the page https://testcisia.it/calendario.php Registration procedures and deadlines will be indicated in the competition notice that will be published on the University website at the page https://www.unimi.it/en/node/13253

Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities
Mathematics OFA Students admitted to the bachelor's program but who score 10 or less in Basic Mathematics in the TOLC-S, or 4 or less in the TOLC-F, will be assigned Additional Educational Obligations (OFA). The OFA will consist of online activities provided during the period October-December, followed by a remedial test in which the student must show evidence of improved preparation. In the absence of this evidence, the student will not be allowed to take any second-year exams until they have passed the Mathematics and Statistics exam. For more information, visit the page https://tops.cdl.unimi.it/it/studiare/le-matricole
OFA B1 Language Test To fulfill the OFA in English and take the English language exam included in the study plan, a knowledge of English at the B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is required. This level can be certified in the following ways: · by submitting a language certification obtained no more than 3 years before the date of its submission, at the B1 level or higher (for the list of language certifications recognized by the University, refer to the website: https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39322). The certification must be uploaded at the time of enrollment, or later, on the portal http://studente.unimi.it/uploadCertificazioniLingue; · by taking a Placement Test, administered by the University's Language Center SLAM exclusively during the first year, from October to December. If the test is not passed, it will be necessary to attend the courses provided by the SLAM Center. The Placement Test is mandatory for those who do not have a valid certification. Those who do not take the Placement Test by December or do not pass the final test of the course within 6 attempts must obtain a certification privately to fulfill the OFA and take the English language exam.

For the teaching of computer science, it should be noted that no credits are recognized for the possession of the ECDL certificate.
