L-13 R - Scienze biologiche
The educational and cultural objectives of the BSc in Biological Sciences are to provide a sound basic knowledge of biology both in its fundamental theoretical aspects and in the methodological and technological aspects inherent to the relevant fields of scientific investigation, offering an adequate preparation to assimilate scientific and technological advances and to know and interact properly with living organisms.
The BSc in Biological Sciences is built in accordance with the guidelines agreed and approved at national level by the CBUI (College of Biologists of Italian Universities) and is therefore one of the ?certified quality? study programs, both for employment and for further studies, as it guarantees the entry requirements for all the degree courses (MSc) in the LM-6 Biology class offered in Italy.
The BSc in Biological Sciences provides a solid preparation in basic mathematical, physical, statistical, computer, chemical and biological disciplines, supplemented by numerous characterising educational activities in the biological field that ensure multidisciplinary competences at the molecular, cellular and organismal level, also considering ecological and evolutionary aspects.
The specific educational objectives of the degree are to train graduates with an adequate interdisciplinary scientific background in the biological sciences, able to understand and interpret the main biological phenomena thanks to basic knowledge of mathematics, statistics, computer science, physics and chemistry; with a thorough theoretical knowledge of animal - including human - and plant biology and microbiology, addressing the study of living organisms at all levels of organisation and examining molecular, cellular, functional and environmental aspects; of the mechanisms of animal and plant reproduction and development; of the nature, transmission, expression and modification of hereditary material of the fundamental aspects of ecology, with regard to the presence and role of organisms and the interactions between the various components of ecosystems and the flows of matter and energy in the ecosphere; with a basic knowledge of the methodologies and technologies inherent to the relevant fields of biological investigation; with operational and applicative skills and abilities in the biological field, with particular reference to basic laboratory activities and the monitoring and control of biological, health and environmental parameters; with knowledge of the experimental scientific method and the ability to process and analyse experimental data; with skills for the communication and management of scientific information.

Students of Scienze Biologiche are given the opportunity to spend part of their curriculum abroad, at a University within the European Union (EU) in the frame of the Erasmus+ program of the European Commission. Students can attend courses and take exams that can be included in the core curriculum and/or perform laboratory stage (6 CFU of the free choice CFU) in several European Universities localized in Denmark, Netherland, Norway, France, Germany, Spain and Portugal (see https://dbs.unimi.it/it/rapporti-internazionali/mobilita-internazionale).
The admitted student will present a study plan including all the activities he/she intends to perform abroad, detailing the corresponding CFU: the number of proposed CFU should roughly correspond to those the student would achieve in the same time lapse remaining in his/her university. The study plan proposed by the student within the Erasmus+ program should be coherent with the Scienze Biologiche course and must be evaluated and approved by the Teaching Board. The Teaching Board, if necessary, will require the student to integrate the program of exams taken abroad. At the end of the Erasmus + program, according to the rules established by the Academic Senate, the approved exams will be recorded, possibly with the original denomination, as part of the student's curriculum upon conversion of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) into CFU. The contact person for the Biological Sciences area is prof.ssa Cristina Bonza ([email protected]).
