Industrial Chemistry (Classe LM-71)-Students Enrolled from the Academic Year 2020-2021

Master programme
A.Y. 2020/2021
LM-71 - Scienze e tecnologie della chimica industriale (EN)
The Master's Degree program in Industrial Chemistry complies with the European standards of reference for Sciences and Technologies of Industrial Chemistry and provides technical skills in the disciplines of chemistry and industrial chemistry and in their applications.
The educational program of the master's degree course is designed to provide:
- skill related to self-directed and independent work, enabling to hold positions of full responsibility in the implementation of industrial and research projects and structures;
- knowledge and understanding to undertake professional careers in the area of industrial chemistry, by independently managing diversified activities, such as the characterization of new products and materials, the experimentation of new technologies, and the activities related to the development and pilot phase in view of the industrial production;
- the ability to interact during the decision-making process with different corporate functions (engineering, marketing etc.) involved in the process of research, development and marketing of active principles, especially those characterized by high added value;
- the competencies required to work in the creative process and in the managerial and operational phases of research in chemistry and industrial chemistry either in public or private laboratories (either European or extra-European), research centers, research and development organizations; to participate in the theoretical and practical development of new chemical technologies and to meet requirements of research and development, quality control within specific legal frameworks or production processes in industries and public institutions;
- written and oral communication skills, in English to enable students to communicate independently and fluently with foreign partners.

Graduates in Industrial Chemistry will be able to carry out, among others, the following activities: promotion and development of the scientific and technological innovation; planning and management of industrial technologies; holding functions of high responsibility in the industrial, environmental, health care, and public service sectors.
Graduates in Industrial Chemistry are expected to find employment in: research and development in chemical industries; design and management of pilot plants, chemical plants; industries and research centers working in diversified sectors of either conventional or innovative fields.
The acquired competences allow graduates to have open access to several industrial sectors such as those of polymeric materials, food industry, agrochemicals, additives, auxiliaries, materials for electronics, ecology, intellectual property (patents) and business management.
The Master's Degree in Industrial Chemistry constitutes a preferential title to access the PhD programme in the area of industrial chemistry.
For the graduate of this class, enrollment in the National Order of Chemists and Physicists is possible, after passing the State Exam.

The curricular prerequisite to access the Master's Degree Course in Industrial Chemistry are those peculiar of the L-27 class of degree courses, and in particular:
- at least 20 credits in disciplines of mathematics, information technology and physics
- at least 70 CFU in discipline groups belonging to the distinguishing areas included in the L-27 Class Table:
- analytical and environmental chemistry CHIM/01 and CHIM/12;
- inorganic and physical chemistry CHIM/03 e CHIM/02
- industrial and technology CHIM/04, CHIM/05 and ING-IND/21-22, ING-IND/25;
- organic chemistry and biochemistry CHIM/06, BIO/10-12
Those credits will be fully recognized to graduates of the undergraduate program of class L-27 of the University of Milan.
All other students must demonstrate to have the curricular requirements of the graduates of the class L-27. Different curricular profiles will be evaluated by the Commission for the Access to Industrial Chemistry.
A minimum English language proficiency at level B1within the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is an admission requirement.
The English level B1 is assessed by the University Language Centre SLAM throughout the admission process in the following ways:
- language certificate achieved no more than three years prior to the submission, at level B1 or B2 or higher, recognised by the University (the list of recognised language certificates can be found at: https://www.unimi.it/en/node/297/). The language certificate must be uploaded during the admission process;
- level of English assessed by SLAM (and/or through a computer-based test) during the bachelor's degrees obtained at the University of Milan. English levels B1 and B2 achieved no more than four years previously are deemed valid. The verification is automatic with no need to attach any certificate during the application phase;
- entry test, organised by SLAM, which will take place on September, 24^th , 2020, at 15:30 in room 700 (via Colombo 46, Milano) for graduate students and on December, 10^th , 2020, at 14:30 in via S. Sofia 11, Milano exclusively for students who are about to graduate or have graduated after the September's date of examination.
If the language certificate or level is not valid, the candidate will be summoned for the entry test through the admission procedure. Candidates who fail the entry test will not be admitted to the master's degree programme and cannot take further tests.
- at least 20 credits in disciplines of mathematics, information technology and physics
- at least 70 CFU in discipline groups belonging to the distinguishing areas included in the L-27 Class Table:

Students enrolled in the Industrial Chemistry course are encouraged to apply to the Erasmus Plus actions, where various positions are available in 20 European universities in Spain, France, United Kingdom and North Europe. They can earn their credits by following courses and/or by performing part of their experimental thesis abroad. Before leaving, students must submit a Learning Agreement to be approved by the Teaching Board: this approval is mandatory for the acquisitions of the credits.
It is mandatory to attend the Laboratory activities. In all the other cases the attendance is strongly suggested.
