Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology (Classe LM-6)-Enrolled from 2023/2024 to 2024/2025 Academic Year

The M.Sc. graduates in BIOEVO possess a specific and modern cultural preparation in the field of organism biology and a deep knowledge of the organism in its integrity, complexity and evolutionary context. The wide differential expertise acquired in biodiversity knowledge and conservation will provide a specific professional preparation in biology for a successful employment in industrial or public sectors whenever it is required: 1) deep understanding of biological phenomena at all levels and dissemination/divulgation activities related to these competences; 2) deep knowledge of biodiversity; 3) identification and analysis of animal and plant communities and species, and activities addressed to their management and conservation; 4) conscious employment and sustainable development of biotic resources; 5) analysis and control of ecosystems, environmental impact evaluation; 6) broad spectrum biological applications in the environmental and cultural heritage fields.
The master's graduate will therefore be able to carry out:
- positions of responsibility in public or private institutions in charge of environmental protection and management, in biological research laboratories and in all professional fields in which a complete knowledge of organisms is required, in terms of adaptations and biological phenomena, and their interactions each other and with the environment;
- advisory function in environmental impact investigations, responsible management of natural resources and repopulation projects;
- basic and applied research activities in university laboratories, in other public or private research institutions, and in industry;
- promotion and development of scientific methodologies and biological monitoring;
- scientific publishing and dissemination activities;
- teaching: the preparation of the master's degree is in fact also particularly suitable for the development of the activity aimed at teaching the biological disciplines at all levels of school education, subject to verification of the additional training requirements established by national legislation, and possible passing of supplementary exams relating to disciplines for which a lack of requirements is highlighted.
After passing the exam for the profession, M.Sc. graduates in BIOEVO can enroll the Biologist?s Professional Register, section A, with the title of Biologist, to perform the activities recognized by the Italian law.
