Introduction
This English-taught course aims at preparing chemists with a good knowledge of theory and practical aspects of the industrial production in different areas of chemistry, specifically concerning the product-process relationship, economics and management. Graduates are expected to possess the skills necessary for diverse roles in industrial chemistry, including product and material characterization, technology experimentation, and active participation in decision-making processes within a global context.
The Master's Degree program in Industrial Chemistry, entirely taught in English, is designed to train high-quality human capital, capable of taking on the challenges of the global economy, favouring access of graduates in Industrial Chemistry to the world labour market. The key role given to English in this learning program is justified by the fact that English has long since represented a global communication tool in the economy and society, which will contribute to the achievement of the prefixed quality objectives.
The Master's Degree program in Industrial Chemistry complies with the European standards of reference for Sciences and Technologies of Industrial Chemistry and provides technical skills in the disciplines of chemistry and industrial chemistry and in their applications.

Program Outcome
The educational program of the master's degree course is designed to provide:
- Skills related to self-directed and independent work, enabling to hold positions of full responsibility in the implementation of industrial and research projects and structures
- Knowledge and understanding to undertake professional careers in the area of industrial chemistry, by independently managing diversified activities, such as the characterization of new products and materials, the experimentation of new technologies, and the activities related to the development and pilot phase in view of the industrial production
- The ability to interact during the decision-making process with different corporate functions (engineering, marketing etc.) involved in the process of research, development and marketing of active principles, especially those characterized by high-added value
- The competencies required to work in the creative process and in the managerial and operational phases of research in chemistry and industrial chemistry either in public or private laboratories (either European or extra-European), research centres, and research and development organizations; to participate in the theoretical and practical development of new chemical technologies and to meet requirements of research and development, quality control within specific legal frameworks or production processes in industries and public institutions
- Written and oral communication skills in English, to enable students to communicate independently and fluently with foreign partners

Career Opportunities
Typically, the graduates in Industrial Chemistry are characterized by the following professional profiles:
- Industrial Chemist
- Manager/Director of Research and Development laboratory
- Production Manager
- Director/Conductor of chemical plants
- Informant and scientific populariser
Therefore, they will be able to carry out, among others, the following activities: promotion and development of scientific and technological innovation; planning and management of industrial technologies; holding functions of high responsibility in the industrial, environmental, health care, and public service sectors.
Graduates in Industrial Chemistry are expected to find employment in: research and development in chemical industries; design and management of pilot plants, and chemical plants; and industries and research centres working in diversified sectors of either conventional or innovative fields.
The acquired competencies allow graduates to have open access to several industrial sectors such as those of polymeric materials, the food industry, agrochemicals, additives, auxiliaries, materials for electronics, ecology, intellectual property (patents) and business management.
