Industrial Chemistry

Requirements and knowledge required for access
The curricular prerequisites to access the Master's Degree Course in Industrial Chemistry are those peculiar of the L-27 class of degree courses (DM 270/04), and in particular:
- at least 20 credits in disciplines of mathematics, information technology and physics;
- at least 70 CFU in discipline groups belonging to the distinguishing areas included in the L-27 Class Table (Analytical and Environmental chemistry - CHIM/01 and CHIM/12; Inorganic and Physical chemistry - CHIM/03 and CHIM/02; Industrial chemistry and engineering - CHIM/04, CHIM/05, ING-IND/21-22, ING-IND/25; Organic chemistry and Biochemistry CHIM/06- BIO/10-12).
The above credits are fully recognized to graduates of the undergraduate programs of class L-27 of the Università degli Studi di Milano. All other students must demonstrate to have the curricular requirements of the graduates of the class L-27. Different curricular profiles will be evaluated by the Commission for the Access to Industrial Chemistry.
Moreover, also a minimum English language proficiency at level B1within the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is required.

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-programme-enrolment/enrolment-masters-programme/open-admission-master-programmes 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.

Undergraduates who intend to graduate by December 31st, 2024 are also allowed to apply.

Methods for verifying knowledge and personal preparation
The personal skills of each candidate will be ascertained through an interview on topics related to the subjects covered in the fundamental courses of the bachelor's degree in Industrial Chemistry. The interview will be conducted by the Commission for the Access to the Master, composed by teachers appointed by the Teaching Board.
The verification of the personal skills is selective even in the case the curricular requirements listed above are recognized.
In particular, the Personal Skills will be verified through an interview with the Access Commission on topics related to fundamental aspects of core disciplines of the degree in Industrial Chemistry. The failure of the interview prevents the access to the MSc in Industrial Chemistry for the current year.
The interview is scheduled in June, July, September and December and can be carried out before graduation, subject to the possession of the curricular requirements indicated above.

For non-EU students, who may have visa and/or residence permit problems, an interview will also be scheduled in May. Furthermore, it will be possible for them to schedule the interview remotely using a videoconferencing platform.
It is recommended to all foreign students to take advantage of this early-bird possibility in order to avoid problems in obtaining all the documentation useful for the enrolment.

FOR A BETTER TEACHING PLANNING ALL CANDIDATES, INCLUDING THOSE EXPECTING to graduate before December 31st, 2024, ARE STRONGLY SUGGESTED TO APPLY FOR the INTERVIEW in July or September.
Graduates who have successfully passed the verification interview will be able to enrol after 5 working days from the date of the verification, within the terms indicated on the website https://www.unimi.it/en/study/bachelor-and-master-study/degree-programme-enrolment/enrolment-masters-programme
