Chemistry for industry and environment

Course Description

Level: Degree Programme

Degree Class: L-27 R - Chemistry

Department: CHEMISTRY AND INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY

Admission: Free

Duration: 3 years

The degree course in Chemistry for Industry and the Environment trains chemists with a solid cultural and professional background, in the theoretical, experimental, and application areas.  Graduates can apply the principles of chemistry and industrial chemistry to industry, the environment and sustainable development, understand production needs, identify technological developments, and successfully enter the world of work. Students receive basic training in mathematics, physics and chemistry, followed by application and technological disciplines of industrial and environmental chemistry. Lessons include exercises and labs to develop scientific rigour on current issues. The course culminates with an internship at a laboratory or company, serving as the subject of the thesis and the final test. The Bachelor’s degree gives access to the Master’s degree course in Chemistry or Industrial Chemistry. The course complies with the Chemistry Eurobachelor ensuring that graduates have access to higher university levels in Europe.

Content in Italian
Per l'accesso al Corso di Laurea in Chimica per l'Industria e l'Ambiente sono richieste, oltre che una buona capacità di comunicazione scritta e orale, le principali conoscenze di matematica elementare e di lingua Inglese (B1). Al solo fine di valutare tali conoscenze in entrata, il Corso di Laurea in Chimica per l’Industria e l’Ambiente utilizza il TOLC-S, test somministrato secondo le modalità concordate tra CISIA (https://www.cisiaonline.it/) e sedi universitarie, pubblicate su entrambi i siti di riferimento. Tale test non preclude in nessun caso l'immatricolazione. Sono però previsti Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi (OFA) per gli studenti che non ottengono un punteggio di almeno 9/20 nello svolgimento della sezione di Matematica del TOLC-S e non superano il Test di valutazione di Lingua Inglese (B1). Per il recupero degli Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi (OFA) in matematica, gli studenti avranno a disposizione un supporto dedicato attraverso specifico tutorato. Gli studenti immatricolati possono sostenere il test TOLC-S esclusivamente fino al 31 dicembre dell'anno in corso. Per chi non ha mai sostenuto o superato il TOLC-S, l'unico Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo consiste nel sostenere l'esame di Istituzioni di Matematica I (o in alternativa la prima prova in itinere) prima di ogni altro esame. Per il recupero di eventuali lacune in inglese, lo studente potrà acquisire la certificazione di livello B1 o, entro la conclusione del proprio percorso formativo, sostenere un esame tra 'Tecnologie dei materiali polimerici” ('Polymer technology “) o Biopolimeri e Bioplastiche ('Biopolymers and Bioplastics”), entrambi erogati in lingua inglese.

These documents should attest at least 12 years of schooling and the relevant qualification should allow the access to higher education.

        For Degree Program shortening the obtained University degree will be required. For relocation from another University previous university career will be required from the other university.

        At the end of procedure please print and sign the FORIM to complete enrolment and upload it on the Alice portal in the Career section annexes.

        Students with special needs

        Students with handicap under art. 3 Italian Law no. 104/1992 or with a certified disability equal or above 66% are required to upload a medical certificate attesting their health condition for university tuition fees exemption (duty stamp is required anyway).

        Some special categories under art. 1.1.2 lett. d) e) and art.1.1.3 lett. c) of the Regulations on Tuition fees (such as Italian government scholarship holders, competition winners, detained subjects ) shall email to centroimmatricolazioni@unipi.it for a specific calculation of tuition fees.


        If you do not apply for a DSU scholarship
        If you do not apply for a DSU scholarship, which will be automatically recorded after you have selected your degree course (“Scelta del corso”), you must pay the first instalment of tuition fees.

        From 1 October, a late payment fee applies as follows:

        • EUR 50 from 1 October 2025 to 31 October 2025
        • EUR 100 from 1 November 2025 to 1 December 2025
        • EUR 150 from 2 December 2025 (up to 31 December 2025 for newly enrolled students)

        International students holding a foreign qualification and visa applicants may pay the first instalment and submit the required documentation by 31 December 2025 without incurring late fees.

        If you apply for a DSU scholarship
        If you apply for a DSU scholarship, your application will be automatically recorded and your enrolment will be confirmed as soon as you have selected your degree course. In this case, payment of the first instalment is deferred to the deadline for the second instalment. Students awarded a scholarship will not be required to pay any tuition fees; they will only need to pay the EUR 16 virtual stamp duty.


        Within three working days of payment (or of degree course selection if you have applied for a scholarship), the Student Office will check and validate the documents and photo submitted during the enrolment procedure. If the documentation provided is complete and correct, you will receive a welcome email confirming your enrolment. Otherwise, you will be contacted directly by email or phone.

        Students holding a foreign qualification, regardless of nationality, must upload the required documents, which will be validated by the International Office WIS


        For Degree Program shortening the previous university career will be recognized after submitting to the Students Office the “qualifications recognition” form with the annexed self certification of all exams. Deadline December 31, 2025.

        For relocation from another University the Students Office will confirm you the acceptance of the discharge papers from the university of origin. Transfer deadline is December 31, 2025.
