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 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 biological 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.

More information is available at https://www.unimi.it/en/node/274/ and for selection procedure you can consult the link https://www.unimi.it/en/node/277/
Each student, depending on the period spent abroad must propose a Learning Agreement that includes educational activities for an appropriate number of CFUs:
- one academic year: 60 CFUs;
- one academic semester: 30 CFUs
- one academic trimester: 20 CFU.
Students must acquire at least 70% of the CFUs indicated in the Learning Agreement. For thesis/internship activities, fulfillment implies that the student has acquired all the CFUs indicated in the Learning Agreement.
For students who have satisfactorily completed the educational program, incentives are provided to be paid in additional score to the graduation grade. This score ranges from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 3 points (depending on the duration of the study period, the amount of CFUs achieved and the overall result obtained), which, upon the proposal of the responsible Lecturer will be awarded by the Graduation Committee

Enrolment
Admission requirements
To be admitted to the bachelor's programme in Toxicology for the human and environmental Safety, a secondary school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad and recognized as suitable are required.
The degree course has local programmed access in accordance with Article 2 of Law 264 of 1999. The number of students admitted is decided from year to year by the relevant academic bodies, following an assessment of the resources available for the operation of the course.
Admission requires the possession of adequate knowledge and skills to be able to successfully follow the bachelor's programme. This knowledge includes fundamentals of mathematical calculation, physics, cell biology and general chemistry, logical skills, ability to express himself in oral and written form without hesitations and errors, a fair general culture and adequate language skills at B1 level. Fulfilment of these requirements will be verified through a mandatory selection test. The test consists of an entrance test, selective, consisting of questions in Basic Mathematics, Reasoning and Problems, Text Comprehension, and Basic Science. Any training obligations resulting from gaps in the aforementioned knowledge must be filled within the first year of the course, according to the modality indicated in the course teaching regulations.
Admission assessment
The bachelor's degree in Toxicology for the human and environmental Safety welcomes the admission of a maximum of 60 students plus 5 foreign students not resident in Italy.
Access to the degree course is subject to passing the TOLC-S, an online test provided by CISIA (https://www.cisiaonline.it/), Consorzio Interuniversitario Sistemi Integrati per l'Accesso, which must be taken prior to matriculation.
The TOLC-S is made up of questions divided into four sections: Basic Mathematics, Reasoning and Problems, Reading Comprehension, Basic Sciences. The questions are compatible with a level of in-depth analysis matching a secondary school preparation. For further details, please see:
Structure and topics of the test: https://www.cisiaonline.it/area-tematica-tolc-scienze/struttura-della-prova-e-syllabus/.
The TOLC-S includes an additional English section whose outcome does not influence the merit ranking, but it constitutes exclusively a self-assessment for the student.
The TOLC-S can be taken at the University of Milan or any other location among those indicated in the calendar available on the page https://testcisia.it/calendario.php
Registration procedures and deadlines will be indicated in the competition notice which will be published on the University website at https://www.unimi.it/it/studiare/immatricolarsi-e-iscriversi.
The merit ranking will be calculated based on the result obtained in the TOLC-S test. All candidates scoring less than 40% of the available points in the test will be excluded from the ranking.
Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities
Mathematics OFA
Students admitted to the bachelor's programme, but who have achieved a score of 10 or less in the TOLC-S section of Basic Mathematics, will be assigned Additional Educational Obligations (OFA). OFA will consist of online activities provided in the October-December period, followed by a remedial test by which the student must show evidence of improved preparation. In the absence of this evidence, the student will not be able to take any second-year exams before passing the Mathematics and Statistics exam.

Additional Learning Requirements (OFA) B1
In order to fulfil the Additional Learning Requirement (Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo ? OFA) for English and sit the English-language exam required by the study plan, students must achieve B1 proficiency per the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This proficiency level may be certified as follows:
- By submitting a language certificate attesting B1 or higher level in English and issued no more than three years before the date of submission. You will find the list of language certificates recognized by the University at: https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39322. The certificate must be uploaded during the enrolment procedure, or subsequently to the portal http://studente.unimi.it/uploadCertificazioniLingue;
- By taking a placement test offered by the University Language Centre (SLAM) between October and December of the first year. Students who fail the test will be required to take a SLAM course.
The placement test is mandatory for all those who do not hold a valid certificate attesting to B1 or higher level.
Those who have not taken the placement test by the end of December or fail the end-of-course exam six times must obtain the necessary certification privately in order to fulfil the OFA and sit the English exam.
For computer science teaching, it should be noted that no credits are recognized for possession of the ECDL certificate.
