General and Specific Educational Objectives
The primary specific educational objective of the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Chemistry is to train graduates with the skills and knowledge necessary to perform professional activities in the field of industrial chemical sciences. These include the development of chemical processes, plant monitoring, and the synthesis and characterization of new materials. The program also aims to provide the cultural tools required to research, develop, and produce within the chemical sector for society, addressing areas such as health, food, cosmetics, environment, energy, communications, furnishings, fashion, and automotive industries.
The training program enables students to acquire the experimental techniques necessary for chemical synthesis and scale-up processes, the determination of chemical and physicochemical properties of matter, analytical methods and computational tools, and methodologies for quality control. Graduates will also be qualified to provide expert advice in applied and industrial chemistry and perform any other activities defined by current legislation related to the profession of Junior Chemist.
Another specific objective of the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Chemistry is to prepare students for either further advanced studies or immediate entry into professional activities. To this end, the course aims to equip students with a solid understanding of basic scientific methods and content to facilitate an easy transition into the workforce or access to a subsequent Master's Degree program.
In detail, graduates of this program will possess:
- Adequate knowledge of basic mathematical tools for chemical applications, including differential and integral calculus and introductory concepts for handling differential equations.
- Adequate knowledge of classical physics, including mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, and wave propagation.
- Adequate foundational knowledge in informatics, essential for learning chemical disciplines, particularly in understanding and processing experimental data for critical and conscious use of scientific computation software.
- A solid understanding of fundamental chemistry in four main areas (analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and organic chemistry), covering both essential competencies and more applied and characteristic aspects.
- A good understanding of work procedures applied within industrial chemical processes, including key safety and environmental sustainability criteria.
- Adequate knowledge of basic theories for understanding transport phenomena in chemical process plants and their primary calculation methods.
- The ability to read and interpret technical documents describing industrial chemical processes.
- The capacity to apply innovative methods and techniques and to use complex equipment.
Graduates of this program will possess the knowledge necessary to undertake professional activities, particularly in industrial settings such as chemical plants, research and quality control laboratories, and sectors including new materials production, health, food, environment, and energy. They will apply the disciplinary investigation methods acquired during their studies with autonomy within defined procedures.
Graduates may enroll (after passing the relevant state examination) in the National Order of Chemists and Physicists as Junior Chemists (Section B ? Chemistry) to perform activities recognized by current regulations.
This Bachelor's program incorporates the guidelines of the Italian Chemical Society on basic disciplinary content (Core Chemistry) for Bachelor's Degrees in Class L-27, along with the requirements for "Chemistry Eurobachelor" accreditation by ECTN.
Eurobachelor®
The Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Milan was one of the first in Italy to receive the Eurobachelor Label in December 2009. The Eurobachelor accreditation is awarded by a dedicated commission designated by the European Thematic Association (https://ectn.eu/), which brings together European universities and chemical societies. The Eurobachelor Label qualifies the degree as recognized by other European universities and grants automatic access to Master's Degree programs in chemistry-related fields across Europe.

As part of the study plan, students can participate in the Erasmus program projects activated for the Degree Course. In particular, within the Erasmus + programme, students can choose between 16 associated European universities. At these locations, students can obtain training credits by following courses and passing the relevant exams, or by carrying out part or all of the final internship. The acquisition of training credits is subject to approval by the Teaching Committee of a specific study plan (Learning Agreement) and the passing of exams at the foreign institution.
Interested students are asked to make an appointment in advance with the Tutor for international mobility and Erasmus (prof. Emma Gallo, Tel. 0250314374; e-mail: [email protected]) for the preparation of the procedures. Students can also participate in numerous seminar meetings with foreign teachers.

Enrolment
*Requirements and Knowledge Needed for Admission*
To be admitted to the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Chemistry, candidates must hold a high school diploma or an equivalent qualification obtained abroad, recognized as valid, as well as demonstrate an adequate initial preparation. The degree program has an open-access policy.
The required knowledge includes: basic knowledge of mathematics and scientific disciplines, as well as the ability to perform simple logical deductions and text comprehension, at a level equivalent to that achieved in secondary school education.
Verification of Knowledge and Personal Preparation
The degree course in Industrial Chemistry is open access.
Admission to the degree course requires a mandatory, but non-selective, test to be carried out before enrolment, aimed at ascertaining the students' initial preparation in terms of minimum knowledge requirements of basic scientific disciplines. The non-selective access test involves taking the TOLC test (CISIA Online Test), which can be taken at the University of Milan or at any other university participating in CISIA (Interuniversity Consortium for Integrated Systems for Access).
Registrations for the TOLC must be made directly on the CISIA website (www.cisiaonline.it). The TOLC valid for enrollment in the degree course in Industrial Chemistry is the TOLC-S, of which it is possible to consult the structure and topics of the test, as well as other useful information, on the page https://www.cisiaonline.it/area -thematic-tolc-sciences/structure-of-the-test-and-syllabus/
The outcome of the English section does not replace the assessment of knowledge of the English language required by the degree course for the acquisition of the related credits (see the paragraph Language tests), but constitutes a self-assessment for the student.
Students who, having taken the mandatory (but not selective) TOLC-S intend to use it to access the Degree course in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Milan MUST register on the CdS website to proceed with enrollment within the deadlines indicated in the announcement .
Students who have taken the mandatory (non-selective) TOLC-S and wish to use it for admission to the Industrial Chemistry program at the University of Milan MUST register on the program's website to proceed with enrollment within the deadlines specified in the announcement.

Requests for evaluation, along with the syllabi of the completed exams, must be submitted strictly by the deadline published in the admission call, and the evaluation outcome will be communicated via email.
Students admitted to years following the first must complete enrollment within the deadlines and according to the procedures specified in the admission call.
Students admitted to the first year must take the initial knowledge assessment test and submit an admission application as indicated in the admission call.
Similarly, to expedite the administrative process, all requests for exam equivalency and/or recognition of prior academic careers must include the syllabi of the completed exams..
*Additional Learning Obligations (OFA) and Recovery Modalities*
Students who do not achieve a score of 10 or higher in the Basic Mathematics section of the TOLC-S will be assigned Additional Learning Obligations (OFA).
For students with OFA, support activities will be organized between October and December, followed by a recovery test (to be completed by January of the year following enrollment). This test is designed to demonstrate improved preparation.
If the student fails to provide such evidence, they will not be allowed to take any second-year exams until they pass the Mathematics Institutions exam.
