Application

Requirements and knowledge required for access

Candidates for the Master's degree program in Chemical Sciences must hold a Bachelor's degree in the L-27 Science and Chemical Technology class or the corresponding class according to DM 509/99, with full recognition of the required curriculum to undertake graduate studies. Graduates from other classes and those with foreign degrees, deemed eligible and demonstrating the necessary competencies for successful studies, may also apply.

Curricular requirements for admission to the Master's degree program in Chemical Sciences are those specified for graduates in the L-27 class. Specifically, the following are required:
==> At least 20 CFU (University Credits) in mathematical, computer science, and physical disciplines.
==> At least 70 CFU in scientific-disciplinary sectors within the areas characterizing the L27 class Table:
- Analytical and environmental chemical disciplines (CHIM/01 and CHIM/12)
- Physical and inorganic chemical disciplines (CHIM/02 and CHIM/03)
- Industrial and technological chemical disciplines (CHIM/04, CHIM/05, ING-IND/21, ING-IND/22, and ING-IND/25)
- Organic and biochemical chemical disciplines (CHIM/06, BIO/10, BIO/11, and BIO/12).

The possible presence of CFU in scientific-disciplinary sectors not included in the list will be evaluated by the Admission Committee.

Italian and foreign students with an academic qualification obtained in Italy must submit an application for admission online without delay by 25 August 2024, according to the methods indicated on the website https://www.unimi.it/en/study/bachelor-and-master-study/degree-programm… where it is also possible to find all the updated information on the admission procedure.
Non-EU visa applicants must submit their application for admission by 30 April 2024.
Applicants who plan to graduate by December 31, 2024, can also submit an admission application.

Verification of Knowledge and Personal Preparation

Admission requires meeting the aforementioned curricular requirements and having adequate personal preparation, assessed by a Committee of at least three professors from the CdS, appointed by the Didactic College of Chemical Science and Technology. The examination of the adequacy of candidates' preparation is selective even if the above-mentioned curricular requirements are met.
In particular, the verification of knowledge and personal preparation will be assessed through an interview with the Admission Committee, focusing on topics related to the fundamental courses of the Bachelor's degrees in the L-27 class. A negative outcome in the interview results in the exclusion from the Master's degree program for the current year. The interview will take place in June, July, September, and December and can be conducted even before obtaining the degree, subject to the possession of the specified curricular requirements.
Graduates who successfully pass the admission interview can enroll five working days after the interview date, within the specified terms available on the https://www.unimi.it/en/study/bachelor-and-master-study/degree-programm…
For non-EU students, who may encounter visa and/or residence permit issues, an interview will also be scheduled in May, possibly conducted remotely using a video conferencing platform. These students are strongly advised to take advantage of this opportunity to avoid potential delays in obtaining all the necessary documentation for enrollment.
