138 Natural Sciences Masters Degree Programs in Italy

The Master's Degree in Bioinformatics for Computational Genomics program aims to form graduates with knowledge about the molecular basis of biological systems, the structure and function of biological molecules in the cellular processes, the technologies, and platforms for the analysis of genomes, the tools for bioinformatic and genomic analysis, and the statistical and computational methodologies for the analysis of biomolecular data.

The Molecular Biotechnology and Bioinformatics master's degree aims to provide students with advanced skills in molecular biotechnology, computational biology, and bioinformatics, with a strong focus on the most advanced tools and approaches for the analysis of genomes, proteomes, and metabolomes. The main goal of the MB&B Master's degree is to give the students the broad theoretical and practical background needed to apply their knowledge to various biological/biotechnology problems.

The degree program "Advanced Mathematics for Applications" is designed to provide both a solid theoretical background and advanced tools, for modeling in many fields for instance finance, image processing, and data analysis, just to cite a few. In the mentioned activities, the numerical approach is considered as well.

Objective of the program is to prepare a professional figure expert in materials and in the design of processes and manufactured goods. Different specialisations are available: Surface Engineering, Polymer Engineering, Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology, Engineering Applications, Micromechanical Engineering

The Fundamental and Applied Mathematics Track (MFA) delivers extensive training in mathematics, developing skills ranging from pure mathematics such as algebra, analysis or geometry to more applied mathematics such as scientific computing, probability or statistics. The acquired skills will prepare you to model and understand complex phenomena that arise in fields like finance, biology or physics.

Software is the substance of which many transformations of this era are made, with a crucial impact on our society’s industrial, economic, social, and cultural development. The M.Sc. Degree in Software: Science and Technology prepares professionals to design and develop complex software systems, capable of combining knowledge and practice of advanced methodologies and state-of-the-art technologies.

The Master’s degree in Physics deepens the understanding of basic elements of modern Physics and Theoretical Physics, allowing students to strengthen their knowledge of specific fields like Biophysics, Nanoscience, Condensed Matter Physics, Nuclear and Particle Physics, Physics of Fundamental Interactions. The program provides direct experience of laboratory and computer calculation techniques and data analysis.

The Master in Physics aims at forming students with skills in different areas of physics, based on a solid interdisciplinary scientific background. Graduates in Physics are appreciated for their openminded, multi-disciplinary attitude and their ability to apply a scientific approach to the analysis of complex problems.

The Master’s Degree Program in Chemistry offered by the University of Parma provides comprehensive education and training focused on the most modern aspects of chemistry. The courses offered range from classic synthesis & catalysis to more challenging subjects such as environmental sustainability, molecular biology, advanced materials, and nanoscience.

The program provides a broad choice of activities including hands-on sessions at the in-house optical telescope, data analysis of observations taken from the best instruments available at top facilities, high-performance numerical simulations of complex astrophysical systems and advanced classes in the new field of gravitational wave astrophysics.

The advent of technologies that allow the global analysis of biological phenomena ("omics") has revolutionized the study of human diseases and opened new perspectives in the field of research, diagnosis, and therapy, tracing the path for Precision or Personalized Medicine.

A Master's degree in Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Torino can offer several benefits and opportunities, and can equip you with the skills to conduct cutting-edge research with diverse career opportunities. The field is constantly evolving, and new discoveries are being made regularly.

The Master’s Degree in Stochastics and Data Science aims at preparing students with a solid and modern education in probabilistic and statistical methods. Core topics will be advanced methodologies and techniques that are nowadays required tools for performing mathematical modelling and analysis under uncertainty (Stochastics) and for analysing and being able to interpret high-dimensional and complex data structures (Data Science).

The Master's in Materials Science aims to form a materials scientist, same time a chemist and a physicist. Students will therefore learn the language of both chemistry and physics, as a materials scientist should act as a bridge between these two apparently different, but very close disciplines.

Graduates of the Master in Chemical and process engineering: Sustainable Technologies and Biotechnologies for Energy and Materials will have the training to go on to work in numerous fields, including the conventional chemical and process industry (petrochemical, specialty chemicals, pharmaceutical), the wide-spread energy industrial sectors (up-stream and down-stream Oil&Gas, energy generation, green energy production), and many other specialized sectors (material production, food technologies, industrial biotechnologies, etc.).
