The Master's degree programme places Biochemistry at the very centre of the student’s
educational path, making it the interpretative key of their future professional and working
approach. The aim of the programme is to create a professional figure that operates at
the interface between Biology and Chemistry, at the service of applied and basic
research, and of the production of goods and services. The degree programme provides
in-depth theoretical knowledge of the main fields of Biochemistry, Biochemical
Methodologies and Biotechnologies, as well as a solid practical preparation, thanks to the
presence of laboratory classes and a laboratory placement, aimed at the preparation of an
experimental thesis, which can be carried out in Academia or in public and private research
institutions. The educational path of the programme is divided into three main learning
areas: Structural and functional biochemistry; Cellular biochemistry; Biotechnologies.
It also includes a fourth Specialization Area consisting of a panel of elective courses in
Advanced Biochemistry, Medical and pharmaceutical, Nutritional and Agro-industrial fields.
Students will also acquire knowledge of Bioethics, Patenting, Regulation and Communication
Skills.
