Overview

This course provides the student with a solid scientific background in various fields of chemistry, focusing particularly on the technological aspects characterizing the industrial world. The theoretical and laboratory teachings of industrial chemistry and chemical plants, together with the application-oriented courses in analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, allow the student to acquire a high level cultural preparation and to master the fundamental principles of an industrial chemical process. Beside this kind of preparation, the student becomes familiar with cultural and technological aspects which will allow him, within an enterprise, to take care of the research as well as of the development of products and processes.

Career opportunities

The Master Degree in Industrial Chemistry allows one to engage in research, production and control activities in public and private facilities. The main employment opportunities are in the industry (chemical, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, paper, tanning, electrochemistry and manufacturing in general), in analysis laboratories and in the health, energy and cultural heritage conservation. The graduate can be involved in innovation processes, management, businness and quality assurance.
A further perspective is that of industrial advisory activity as a freelancer, taking care of safety and hygiene issues in the workplace. The widespread industrialization and ever-increasing demands for environmental protection and accident prevention are leading an increasing number of industrial chemists to work even in non-chemical companies, both as a freelancer and an employee.
The Master Degree in Industrial Chemistry allows also the graduate to enter a PhD program or a II level Master course.
