The BSc in Biological Sciences is a three-year undergraduate programme classified under the L-13 Biological Sciences category. Admission to the programme requires participation in a mandatory entrance test, which is non-selective.

To earn the degree, students must complete 180 ECTS credits, which include lectures, hands-on lab work with a strong experimental focus, numerical exercises, and microscopic or macroscopic observations. The programme aims to provide students with a solid foundation in basic biological sciences, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue further studies in specific areas of Biology.

Graduates of the L-13 programme can progress to Master's degrees in Biology (LM-6) or Medical, Veterinary, and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology (LM-9). Practical training is a key component of the curriculum, with classroom exercises, lab work, and external internships at companies, public institutions, or research laboratories, including opportunities for international placements.

This programme prepares students for both further academic study and direct entry into the workforce. Career opportunities include roles in bio-health, industrial, veterinary, food, and biotechnology sectors, within both public and private research and service organizations, where tasks typically involve analysis, control, and management of biological processes.

The BSc in Biotechnology provides students with the theoretical and practical foundations necessary to understand and apply technologies for producing biological products in industrial and scientific contexts. The programme covers general disciplines like mathematics, physics, and statistics, while offering in-depth, integrated study of biological, chemical, and bioinformatics sciences.

This degree is ideal for those passionate about scientific and technological advancements and seeking a career rooted in the biological sciences. The course is structured over three years, comprising 180 ECTS credits, and includes classroom lectures and hands-on laboratory work. In the third year, students complete a 150-hour internship, either within the university's ҹɫè of Science and Technology or at external research or industrial institutions.

The programme strongly encourages international mobility through European Union projects, allowing students to take exams or complete internships at partner universities abroad. Admission requires a high school diploma (or equivalent) and participation in a mandatory orientation test, which does not affect enrollment.

The course is inclusive, providing specific support and pathways for students with disabilities. The degree culminates in a thesis, leading to the title of "Bachelor in Biotechnology." Graduates can pursue further studies or enter the workforce, with career opportunities in sectors such as agro-food, bio-health, chemistry, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, scientific communication, and environmental protection.

Our BSc in Sports and Health Sciences is designed to equip students with the scientific and technical expertise necessary to excel in various fields of individual and group physical activities and sports. The programme emphasises technical, motor, and sports disciplines and promotes active lifestyles. Students will engage with various subjects, including biology, physics, anatomy, physiology, sports pharmacology, pedagogy, psychology, and the didactics and methodology of physical and sports activities.

The course is delivered in collaboration with highly qualified faculty members who possess extensive expertise in both the technical aspects of sports and preventive education.

The STAS Doctorate aims to train professionals with a complete mastery of the research method, the ability to work in multidisciplinary contexts and to communicate effectively with the scientific community and society. The STAS Doctorate offers a multidisciplinary path, with personalized paths to adapt to the different skills of the doctoral students. The wide distribution of entry degrees, which ranges from courses with a predominantly biological content to geology, chemistry and pharmacy, is consistent with the mission of the doctorate, which aims to create professional figures capable of working across disciplines in the field of the environment, health and mutual interactions.

To achieve these objectives, the STAS Doctorate is divided into various activities: research in the laboratory and/or in the field, use of technologically advanced tools and platforms, teaching organized into theoretical and theoretical-practical courses, seminars, workshops, conferences and participation in national conferences and international. The training project promotes a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach to the study of the relationships between environment and health, a strategic sector for the future of the planet in an era in which man suffers the effects of the dynamics that he himself has generated, such as pollution and climate change. The STAS Doctorate aims to train highly professional figures capable of tackling and solving problems in an integrated way, such as environmental contaminants and health, interactions between genes and the environment, etc. At the same time, the STAS Doctorate offers the possibility of in-depth study in specialized areas such as biodiversity, environmental monitoring, sustainability, remediation, ecotoxicology, risk analysis, food resources and nutrition, molecular mechanisms involved in the genesis and pathogenesis of inflammation, degenerative neoplastic diseases and metabolic, microbiota and phytocompounds. This is achieved with the contribution of scholars in the field of Biological, Earth and Chemical Sciences, who are able to address how much and how environmental alterations can impact the biosphere and geosphere and, therefore, health and safety. A further objective of the STAS Doctorate is to obtain maximum interaction with the productive world, encouraging the involvement of businesses and companies, as well as local authorities and research centres, in the development of the training and research project. The program allows study periods at both national and international institutions and internships in public and private companies to facilitate entry into the world of work.

.Over the three years of the doctorate program, the activities integrate basic and specialist training, research training, and teaching training. At the beginning of the first year, the Teaching Body assigns to each doctoral student a tutor who supports him/her in the proposal and planning of the individual study plan and who assists him/her in defining the specific topic of doctoral thesis research. Overall, the activities can be divided into the following areas: a) carrying out a research project under the guidance of a supervisor; b) teaching and training activities complementary to the research activity, including transversal activities such as, for example, linguistic and IT improvement (mandatory activities). The teaching activity provided is distinct from that given in courses relating to first and second-level study courses and is functional to the research activities foreseen in the doctoral course. The training is integrated by participation in conferences and internships in international research centres at the suggestion of the tutor. Doctoral students are required to spend a period of study and research abroad for a minimum duration of six months. In this way, doctoral students will be able to manage international projects, collaborate in diversified teams and clearly communicate their research results.
