The Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences (Class L-13) trains the Junior Biologist, providing preparation that leads on to a Master's Degree.
Biology studies living organisms in their various aspects (structure, organisation, function, growth, reproduction, evolution, distribution) in order to understand the origins and rules of life. Following the '3+2' structure, the programme combines tradition and innovation with a strongly multidisciplinary character: preparatory subjects such as Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics provide the cultural foundations and tools for studying the core and characterising biological subjects. The structure allows for personalised study paths while ensuring a sound cross-disciplinary scientific preparation.
The first-cycle degree provides the fundamental knowledge for a professional career in every branch of the Life Sciences.
Student mobility and internationalisation are supported through scholarships and agreements with numerous European universities for courses and traineeships abroad.
The main career opportunities lie in the biomedical, industrial, veterinary, agri-food and manufacturing sectors, including public and private research and service bodies: analysis, monitoring, management and prevention; identification, enhancement and sustainable use of biological resources; conservation of biodiversity, the environment and human health.
Restricted admission: 200 places. Location: Ecotekne Campus (via Monteroni, Lecce).
