Biological Sciences (Classe L-13)-Enrolled Before 2018/2019 Academic Year
The bachelor programme in Biological Sciences (Class L-13 Biological Sciences) is designed to provide students with a sound basic knowledge of the main areas of Biological Sciences and a good mastery of methodologies and technologies related to the corresponding fields of scientific research, providing adequate preparation for assimilation of scientific and technological progresses and to know and properly treat living organisms.
Graduates of Biological Sciences will be able to work in teams with different degrees of autonomy and to readily enter the working world, both in European and non-European countries. They will possess adequate knowledge to perform professional activities and apply techniques in private and public research centers, in pharmaceutical, agroalimentary, biotechnological, florovivaistic companies, in health and evironmental service centers, where they will be able:
- to classify, manage and use living organisms;
- to manage the relationship between development and quality of the environment;
- to assess environmental impact;
- to develop projects for the conservation and restoration of the environment and the biodiversity.
The degree in Biological Sciences affords admission to the Biologists' Professional Register (Section B, Junior Biologists), by passing the exam for the profession, to perform the activities recognized by the Italian law.

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 Belgium, Netherland, Norway, UK, France, Germany, Poland, Spain and Portugal (see http://www.dbs.unimi.it/extfiles/unimidire/59401/attachment/elenco-degli-accordi-attivi.pdf). 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.
La frequenza è da ritenersi fortemente consigliata per tutti i corsi.

Laboratories locations
Il corso di laurea è caratterizzato da un'intensa attività di laboratorio. I corsi di laboratorio, in particolare, devono di norma essere frequentati nell'anno di competenza e non potranno essere frequentati da studenti iscritti ad anni successivi, fatta eccezione per gli studenti in trasferimento (da altri corsi di studio o da altre sedi). Di norma i laboratori potranno essere rifrequentati solo da studenti che si iscrivono nuovamente allo stesso anno in qualità di ripetenti. Gli studenti accedono ai laboratori in gruppi di 20-30. Durante le lezioni pratiche vengono fornite le necessarie norme di sicurezza e di corretto comportamento in laboratorio.
