AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Class: L-25
Agricultural and forestry sciences and technologies
Specific educational objectives of the Course: The course of study provides initial training for the sustainable management of agricultural systems, combining modern production techniques with the protection of environmental resources and the economic-organizational needs of the agro-zootechnical supply chains. The training course is developed over a three-year didactic period to provide the student with: a) the scientific methodological approach and the preparatory knowledge bases of chemistry, mathematics, physics and biology; b) the necessary skills in the sectors of agricultural economics, agricultural chemistry, agronomy, crop protection, microbiology and agricultural industries; c) technical preparation in the sectors of herbaceous and arboreal cultivation, livestock production, agricultural engineering and appraisal. The training course is completed by: a basic English language course, laboratory experiences, training internships and company placements, curricular stays abroad within the European Erasmus program.
The course prepares for the profession of (ISTAT codes):
- Agronomic technicians
FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Class: L-25
Agricultural and forestry sciences and technologies
Specific educational objectives of the Course: In the educational path of the degree course in Forestry and Environmental Sciences, the basic, characterizing and similar disciplines are integrated and developed on three levels of training: a) basic propaedeutics/methodology; b) basic knowledge that refers to the areas of economics and appraisal, forest management and silviculture, general and applied entomology and plant pathology, agronomy and herbaceous crops, agricultural chemistry, agricultural hydraulics and hydraulic-forestry systems, agricultural mechanics, rural constructions and agroforestry territory. c) specific knowledge, which refers to the sectors of wood technology and forestry uses. Curricula: Environment and agro-forestry landscape; Design of green areas.
The course prepares for the profession of (ISTAT codes):
- Forestry technicians
FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Class: L-26
Food Science and Technology
Specific educational objectives of the Course: The degree course in Food Science and Technology aims to provide knowledge and train professional skills that guarantee a complete vision, albeit in their specificity, of the production activities of food, beverages and their general problems, from production to consumption. The degree course includes a subdivision into curricula, linked to specific production areas, the curriculum in "Food Science and Technology" aimed at the production of food and beverages, and the curriculum in "Catering and Gastronomy" aimed at the correct administration of food and beverages for sustainable consumption. The occupational profile of the graduate in Food Science and Technology is, consequently, very broad. The graduate in Food Science and Technology carries out technical tasks of: management and control in the production, conservation, distribution and administration of food and beverages. Curricula: Food Science and Technology; Gastronomy and Catering.
The course prepares for the profession of (ISTAT codes):
- Food preparation technicians
- Service Production Technicians
- Biochemical laboratory technicians
- Food product technicians
- Sales and distribution technicians
- Hospitality technicians and similar professions
AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Class: LM-69
Agricultural sciences and technologies
Specific educational objectives of the Course: The Master's Degree in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies aims to provide, on the basis of a solid preparation on the theoretical-scientific aspects acquired in the three-year degree in class L-25, advanced knowledge in the field of technical management of agricultural systems. In fact, within the Master's Degree the student has the opportunity to acquire specific knowledge and to deepen and differentiate his/her preparation in the field of agricultural sciences.
The course prepares for the profession of (ISTAT codes):
- Agronomists and foresters
- Researchers and technicians with degrees in biological sciences
- Researchers and technicians with degrees in agricultural, zootechnical and animal production sciences
FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Class: LM-70
Food Science and Technology
Specific educational objectives of the Course: The Master's Degree in Food Science and Technology aims to provide, on the basis of a solid preparation on the theoretical-scientific aspects acquired in the three-year degree in class L-26, advanced knowledge in the field of technical management of agri-food systems and supply chains and catering. The course also trains high-profile professionals capable of using a broad spectrum of knowledge to interpret, describe and solve, in an innovative way, problems related to agri-food supply chains. Within the Master's Degree course, the student has the opportunity to acquire specific knowledge in the field of food science and technology. Curricula: Food technologies; Gastronomy and catering.
The course prepares for the profession of (ISTAT codes):
- Biotechnologists
- Researchers and technicians with degrees in agricultural, zootechnical and animal production sciences
FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Class: LM-73
Forestry and environmental sciences and technologies
Specific educational objectives of the Course: The Master's Degree in Forestry and Environmental Sciences provides the most appropriate knowledge to understand, analyze and interpret the complex interactions that occur within agro-forestry ecosystems and between the biotic and abiotic components that characterize them, with a view to sustainable and functional management of the territory. The broad and varied study path allows to train professionals able to face, with a multidisciplinary approach, ecological and environmental challenges in a socio-economic and climatic scenario subject to rapid and profound changes. In this perspective, and in coherence with the ability to understand the complexity of environmental systems, the graduate is able to combine and integrate naturalistic, biological and technological knowledge to ensure the most suitable operational choices and solutions. Curricula: Management of the environment and forest ecosystems; Management of green areas.
The course prepares for the profession of (ISTAT codes):
- Agronomists and foresters
- Researchers and technicians with degrees in biological sciences
