The Bachelor Degree Course in Materials Science and Nanotechnology, activated in a.y. 2023-2024, is a new and profoundly revised course from the Bachelor of Science in Materials Science (no longer provided since a.y. 2023-2024). With a solid cultural and methodological background grounded in knowledge in both the physical and chemical disciplines, this course teaches students to understand the relationships between structure and properties of materials and to use experimental and theoretical skills to analyze characteristics and functionality of various classes of materials. As a result of the interdisciplinary preparation and skills acquired, the graduate in Materials Science and Nanotechnology will be able to perform functions related to the management and optimization of production and commercialization processes of materials and devices, mainly in the field of ceramic materials, polymers, semiconductors, composites and in general materials with functional properties.

The Bachelor Degree Course in Chemical Sciences and Technologies belongs to the Class L-27 - Chemical Sciences and Technologies and has a duration of three years. The Course represents the first university training cycle and aims to ensure the student an adequate mastery of basic scientific methods and contents, as well as the acquisition of specific professional knowledge. The Degree Course foresees a methodological and professional path differentiating in the program of the third year. The two paths have different teaching activities.
At the end of the studies the academic qualification of Doctor of Chemical Sciences and Technologies is conferred and, in the case of appropriately constructed study plans, the European Chemistry Eurobachelor® title.

The Bachelor Degree Course in Optics and Optometry is a three-year course strongly oriented towards the profession of optometrist. The main objective is therefore providing the students with a basic knowledge in physics and chemistry, which can be a proper background for more technical subjects in the fields of optics, optometry, and contact lenses. The teaching organization of the course has been set with professional associations as consultants; several professors teaching the technical subjects come from those associations and work as optometrists.

The Master Degree Course in Materials Science and Nanotechnology, taught in English, is a revamped and profoundly revised course from the Master Degree Course in Materials Science (no longer provided from a.y. 2023-2024) that provides graduates a solid multidisciplinary background, across chemistry and physics, capable of designing molecular and atomic structures in the form of materials with specific functionalities. The degree program offers a multidisciplinary approach to address new research and technological innovation tasks, with a focus on sustainability. Graduates in Materials Science and Nanotechnology are professionals who can provide innovative solutions to the complex challenges facing the world today.

The Graduate Program in Materials Science and Nanotechnology offers a Dual Degree track focused on sustainable technology issues.

In the fields of optics, optometry and ophthalmology, we are witnessing a rapid evolution in the instruments, devices and technologies used.

The Master’s Degree in Optometry and Vision Science aims to provide innovative knowledge through educational activities on technologies and materials, optometry and the mechanisms of vision, data analysis and the scientific method.

A variety of teaching activities, both in-presence and online, are planned, including exercises, optometric case studies, projects, sharing of interactive teaching materials, oral presentations by students, student-faculty discussions, face-to-face workshops and work placements.

The course is taught in English. For interested students, there is also a part-time course option that lasts four years instead of two.

The PhD program in Materials Science and Nanotechnology aims at preparing students to both experimental and theoretical research, of fundamental, applied or industrial character, in those subfields of Physics and Chemistry which are the foundation of Materials Science, and of the corresponding technological applications. The general research framework is highly interdisciplinary, ranging from chemistry to engineering, from physics to biology and (nano)medicine.
