Learning Objectives
Themes
The degree course aims to promote knowledge of the biological, chemical, physical and biochemical-functional groundings of the life sciences, both on a theoretical and applied level.
The multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary knowledge is aimed at the areas of bio-sanitar and human health, as well as knowledge of the environment and biodiversity.
Training also includes experimental laboratory work, which must be carried out either at the University of Urbino or other universities, including international institutions, as well as in companies or public/private organizations operating in the biological field.
The degree course offers two training courses, respectively in the health-molecular and natural-environmental fields, aligned with the professional role of the Junior Biologist, who - although without decision-making autonomy - is qualified to carry out technical and professional activities across various areas of biological application. Teamwork is strongly encouraged throughout the program, to help students develop collaboration and communication skills essential for professional settings.
The Biomedical-Molecular path study is designed to train graduates who can work in research, production, and technology sectors, including biomedical, industrial, and biotechnological laboratories, as well as in food quality and microbiological control and management services.
The Environmental-Naturalistic path study prepares graduates to work, in both public and private sectors, in roles that involve classifying, identifying, and utilizing living organisms, as well as studying the relationship between development, quality, and environmental management. This includes environmental impact assessment and the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity.
The course is entirely taught in Italian. Some materials may be provided in English.

Career prospects
Objectives
The skills acquired with the three-year degree in Biological Sciences provide the possibility of working on technical-operational tasks and professional support activities in numerous applied biological fields, as well as in basic research at public and private organisations. The three-year degree also guarantees the possibility of access to Postgraduate courses aimed at enhancing specific professional skills required by organisations or companies for specific tasks.
Graduates will be able to find employment in:
- Public and private bio-health analysis laboratories;
- Public and private laboratories for environmental quality analysis (water, air and soil);
- Public and private laboratories for product safety (e.g. food, supplements, nutraceuticals, drugs, phytotherapic products, cosmetics) for human and animal use;
- Laboratories using biomolecular and biotechnological procedures in the bio-health and natural environment fields;
- Quality certification bodies;
- Public and private bodies in charge of territorial control and management (Municipalities, Regions, Parks, Protected Areas, Nature Reserves);
- Public and private research institutions (Universities, N.R.C., research centres);
- Free profession in the field of biology, subject to registration in the National Register of Biologists, Section B.
Contents and structure of the course / Syllabus
Activities of PhD Students
The course is divided into a common first year during which emphasis will be placed on the acquisition of basic knowledge in the chemical, physical and mathematical disciplines, to be subsequently differentiated into two curricula, one health-molecular and the other naturalistic-environmental, which will focus on the respective characterising biological disciplines.
Master's degree programs with direct admission
- Nutritional biology (LM-6 R)
- Medical biotechnologies for diagnostics and therapy (LM-9 R)
