The course provides theoretical and practical knowledge for the assessment and management of processes in biological systems, with particular focus on the conservation and management of biodiversity and the environmental sustainability of production activities, in line with the sustainable development goals defined by the UN’s 2030 Agenda.
The course prepares students for careers as biologists, researchers and graduate technicians in biological sciences and aims to train “sustainability managers” with skills that are useful in various fields: public and private research institutes, industry, healthcare and public administration, and non-governmental organisations.
The course aims to provide students with advanced knowledge and tools for in-depth study of issues related to the study, control and management of biological processes, and particularly environmental sustainability. The programme provides students with a solid education in the various aspects of biology, ecology and its applications, as well as a high level of proficiency in the scientific method of investigation, enabling graduates to work with a high degree of organisational autonomy. The programme is characterised by courses focused on environmental issues and sustainable development.
