LM-71 R - Scienze e tecnologie della chimica industriale
The Master's degree programme in Cosmetic Industrial Science (CosmIS) aims to train a graduate with advanced skills in the research, development, industrial production, quality control and marketing of cosmetic products. This graduate will be immediately ready for placement in qualified positions, at different levels within cosmetic companies. The skills and the competencies necessary for the achievement of such goals are acquired through i) theoretical lectures, most of which complemented by laboratory activities, also conveyed through innovative teaching methods, and ii) an internship, lasting at least 6 months, to be carried out preferably in cosmetic companies, in Italy or abroad.
With reference to the aforementioned objectives, the Master's degree programme provides students with knowledge of: - key formulation ingredients, i.e., inorganic, organic, polymeric and functional ingredients of cosmetic products, with their specific activity;
- physiology and specific functions of the skin and its annexes;
- formulation of semisolid, liquid and solid preparations for the development of skincare, hygiene, parfumes and make-up products;
- technologies applied to the manufacturing and packaging of cosmetic products;
- regulatory provisions and skills for placing a new cosmetic product on the market, according to the European guidelines;
- microbiological risk assessment and alternative protocols for the relevant toxicological characterization;
- quality assessment and stability monitoring of cosmetic products;
- marketing and communication, business plan and project financial evaluation relevant to cosmetic products.
During the internship, students are expected to develop a personal project on a topic consistent with the Master's degree programme. This internship is also intended to acquire teamwork aptitudes, critical abilities, and communication skills. At the end of the internship, the student will write a Master's degree thesis in English to be presented and discussed during the final examination.
The degree in CosmIS will be conferred to students who have acquired interdisciplinary knowledge and comprehension skills in all the areas covered by their training, particularly in the chemical, chemical/pharmaceutical, biochemical/toxicological, pharmaceutical/technological and legislative fields related to the development and manufacturing of cosmetic products, and expertise in the scientific approach to solving problems typical of the profession.

Graduate students in CosmIS will reach a high degree of autonomy in the work environment, allowing them to hold positions of high responsibility in companies focused on the synthesis/production/marketing of cosmetic raw materials and on the formulation/development and production of skincare, hygiene, parfumes and make-up products, their packaging, related sales, and control/safety. They may also assume responsibilities as project or lab leaders in academic research laboratories or find employment in agencies responsible for the development of technical regulations and quality certification of cosmetic products. Studies conducted in English will enable graduates to meet the challenges of the global economy, facilitating their immediate entry into the job market.
