Natural Sciences

The degree programme requires students to gain oral and written proficiency in English.

Students will also become skilled in processing naturalistic data using mathematical and statistical techniques applicable to biotic and abiotic contexts. Moreover, they will acquire skills to identify living organisms, substrate types and landforms, to plan protocols and experimental procedures, and to properly write reports in different areas of natural sciences, such as surveys and analyses of the flora, fauna and morphology of the land or, more generally, methodological and experimental procedures for a cross-disciplinary study of organisms, the present environment and the geological past. Graduates will be able to autonomously assess and interpret experimental data, to choose the appropriate techniques for the analysis of environmental and natural components, as well as to apply the principles of professional ethics and a scientific approach to bioethical issues. Moreover, graduates will acquire verbal and written communication skills to be able to address both experts in the field and the general public, using the appropriate language register according to the different circumstances.
