The Master's Degree Course in Industrial Chemistry aims at preparing chemists with a good knowledge of theory and practical aspects of the industrial production in different areas of chemistry, specifically concerning the product-process relationship, as well as of economics and management. The students could also learn to work independently and to take full responsibility of projects and structures.
The Master's Degree program in Industrial Chemistry, entirely taught in English, is designed to train high-quality human capital, capable to take on the challenges of the global economy, favouring access of graduates in Industrial Chemistry to the world labour market. The key role given to English in this learning program is justified by the fact that English has long since represented a global communication tool in economy and society, which will contribute to the achievement of the prefixed quality objectives.
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:
- skills 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 centres, 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.
Tipically, the graduates in Industrial Chemistry are characterized by the following professional profiles:
- Industrial Chemist
- Manager/Director of Research and Development laboratory
- Production Manager
- Director/Conductor of chemical plants
- Informant and scientific populariser

Therefore, they 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 centres 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 programmes in the area of industrial chemistry*.
For the graduate of this class, enrolment in the National Federation of the Order of Chemists and Physicists is possible, after passing the State Exam.

* Euromaster®.
The Master's Degree Course in Industrial Chemistry (before academic year 2013/14: Chimica Industriale e Gestionale) of the Università degli Studi di Milano has been among the first ones in Italy to gain the EuroMaster Label. The EuroMaster Label is assigned by a special jury purposely appointed by the European Thematic Association, gathering European universities and chemical societies. The EuroMaster Label certifies the educational qualification provided by the Master Degree Course in Industrial Chemistry as a master degree recognized by the European Universities and gives the right to access the post-graduate courses of chemistry at the European level.

Statistiche occupazionali (Almalaurea)
As from the academic year 2023-2024 the Master's Degree Course in Industrial Chemistry - to keep up with the new trends that are emerging in the professional fields - is revisited in some characterizing courses, this edition of the Manifesto degli Studi is reserved for students enrolled until the academic year 2023-2024. Therefore, for access to the updated Master's Degree Course in Industrial Chemistry, it is necessary to consult the Manifesto degli Studi valid for students who will enrol starting from the academic year 2024-2025, available on the website of the degree course.
Students enrolled in the Industrial Chemistry course are encouraged to apply to the Erasmus + actions, where various positions are available in 20 European universities. 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.
