Bioeconomy responds to the environmental challenges the world is facing, oriented to reduce the dependence on natural resources, transform manufacturing, promote sustainable production of renewable plant, microbial and animal resources and their conversion into food, feed, materials, bio-based products and bio-energy, while growing new jobs and industries.
Biotechnology is one of the key enabling technologies to sustain a new green and sustainable economy (i.e. bioeconomy), offering solutions for an efficient and sustainable production of plant and microbial biomasses; the production of bioenergy from (waste) biomasses; environmental protection and safety in terms of bioremediation; green chemistry processes and applications; sustainable agri-food production and processes, circular economy.
In this context, the Biotechnology for the Bioeconomy (BforB) Master degree aims at providing students with advanced molecular and cellular background of microbe and plant systems, which are the basis for the several sectors of the biotechnologies applied to the bio-economy. The BforB Master degree will equip students with a solid and broad expertise about the structure and function of biological macromolecules of interest for the bioeconomy sector, and complete knowledge about the analyses of informational molecules and the expression of characters with a special focus on multidisciplinary and integrated approaches. The BforB Master degree will provide theoretical and practical instruments for the set-up, analyses and improvement of biotechnological processes for i) the transformation of renewable raw materials in biotechnological processes exploiting microorganisms, plants and enzymes, ii) plant and microbial-based bioremediation strategies, iii) bio-based approaches in food and agriculture sustainable development.
The BforB Master degree will be taught entirely in English, providing the students with knowledge and competences that can be spent at European and extra European level, to which the bioeconomy sector is faced. Moreover, the English language will allow the participation of students from out of Italy, making the Master degree a stimulant international learning environment.

In this case the process is automatic, the applicant does not have to attach any certificates to the application;
- Entry test administrated by the University Language Centre (SLAM) according to the calendar published on the website: (https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39267/)
All those who fail to submit a valid certificate or do not meet the required proficiency level will be instructed during the admission procedure to take the Entry test.
Applicants who do not take or pass the Entry test will be required to obtain a language proficiency certificate recognized by the University (see https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39322) and deliver it to the SLAM via the InformaStudenti service by the deadline fixed for the master?s programme (https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39267/).
Applicants who do not meet the requirement by said deadline will not be admitted to the master's degree programme and may not sit any further tests.
Eligibility assessment: the personal curriculum of the applicants and the certifications will be evaluated to verify that the requirements for admission are satisfied by an Admission Committee composed of the coordinator and at least one lecturer of the Master degree. For students with an Italian Bachelor degree the analysis of the curriculum aims to verify the level of knowledge in the "core disciplines" for the L-2 class of Laurea Triennale. Students who have qualified abroad equivalent to a Bachelor?s degree must have passed, together with the basic disciplines of mathematics, physics, general chemistry and biology, also a suitable number of exams in all the following disciplines: organic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, genetics and plant physiology, and disciplines included in the biotechnology area.
For all applicants, admission to the LM is subject, in addition to possessing the above curricular requirements, to assessing the adequacy of the applicant?s personal preparation. This should verify the level of knowledge (CFU acquired, and grade obtained) in mathematics and statistics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, plant biology, and microbiology. It should be noted that preparation in the disciplines mentioned above may also have been achieved through attendance at individual courses.
If deemed necessary, the Committee may integrate this documentary assessment with an interview with the applicants. The interview may be held remotely through an online conference platform. Should the candidates be called by the commission, the interview is mandatory for possible admission to the Master. The interview is aimed at examining more thoroughly the applicant's background knowledge.
The applicants will receive communication of their eligibility and will be allowed to enrol in the Master?s degree program. An online anonymous self-evaluation test will then be provided, allowing the admitted students to identify specific weaknesses in their knowledge.
