Key Summary
Introduction
The second-level degree in Biological Sciences (LM-6 class Biology) aims to train graduates with advanced knowledge and expertise in updated biomolecular and biotechnological methodologies for application in diagnostic, nutritional, and environmental fields. Indeed, students can choose among parallel curricula:
- Molecular Diagnostics and Biotechnology
- Nutrition: Functional and Sustainable Food
Conservation Biology and Environmental Management.
These curricula, in combination with core courses, give students flexibility to tailor their degree to their background, interests, and career goals. In order to support the mobility and the successful integration of students and graduates in an international context, these courses will be presented in English.
The characterization of the course is also enriched by a further curriculum, carried out in Italian and more specifically aimed at preparing for the profession of nutritional biologist, with a particular attention towards sports nutrition:
- Nutrizione per il Benessere e lo Sport.

Quality Assurance System
UNICAM Quality Management System Certificate ISO ISO9001:2015 (from AFAQ-France, a French leader and one of the first certification bodies at the global level) guarantees students the quality of services provided.
The guarantee is via a rigorous analysis of internal organizational procedures and the prompt addressing of any weaknesses or shortcomings whether detected or reported by the students themselves.
The Quality Management System includes the following support services for students: orientation and guidance, mentoring,
International mobility, Internships, and communication.
These integrate with and support the educational activities, so as to contribute to the complete training of the student.
Career Opportunities
The goal of the Master course in Biological Sciences is to prepare its graduates to start a career in different areas of Biological Sciences with particular regard to scientific research and diagnostics in biomedical, nutritional, and environmental fields. Graduates will be able to deal with the application of biology and biotechnology, at functional and molecular levels, in industry, in the service sector, and in various areas of public administration. The degree in Biological Sciences, through the specific curricula, properly prepares professional figures, such as the nutritional biologist, who are allowed to formulate personal diets and oversee education programs and nutritional and environmental surveillance programs. All curricula will prepare students to engage in research, lead lab teams, make development and planning decisions, and create and apply research modalities to large projects.
Graduates in Biological Sciences will be adequately prepared for access to third education level (PhD programs or specialization school) in molecular biology and biotechnology all over the world.
Classes will be held face to face in the University halls but it is possible to attend them also in streaming. Practical activities and laboratories will be organized in different modalities that will be communicated at the due time.
