Course Class: L-13
Type: First Cycle Degree (3 years)


 

The course of study in short

Biological Sciences is a three-year degree course structured in two curricula: a 'Biomolecular curriculum' and a 'Marine curriculum'.
The course aims to train graduates with a solid basic knowledge in the various fields of Biology supported by specific knowledge in the areas defined by the two curricula. The course also provides adequate skills in the most advanced experimental investigation methodologies and technologies essential for understanding and analyzing biological phenomena.


The organization in two curricula offers students the opportunity to better orient themselves in the choice of the Master's Degree Course. The theoretical knowledge and technical skills acquired will enable them to pursue their careers in various fields of biology, such as molecular and applied biology, nutrition biology, environmental and marine biology.


In order to achieve the educational objectives, the Degree in Biological Sciences includes:
- Basic training activities aimed at acquiring knowledge in the various areas of biology, relating to the structure and physiology of living organisms, the biology of the different groups of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms and their functional aspects, the mechanisms of heredity and development, the interactions between organisms and between organisms and the environment and the processes of biological evolution.
- Specific training activities in the areas defined by the two curricula.
- Activities aimed at acquiring technical and experimental skills relating to each discipline. Each course includes laboratory and / or field projects, which offer the students the opportunity to apply their knowledge to the design and execution of analytical and experimental techniques useful both in research activities and in monitoring and control activities related to environment, health and production processes.
- External activities such as internships at institutions and companies that allow students to verify and put into practice the knowledge acquired by offering them the opportunity to get in touch with different aspects of the labour market.
- Study and internship activities in Universities abroad through the various Erasmus programs
-Training activities aimed at the acquisition of skills in the English language equivalent to level B1.
