Graduates in Biology are able to carry out technical-operational and professional support work in the field of the biology of animal and vegetable organisms and microorganisms (morphological/functional, chemical/biochemical, physiological, cellular/molecular, evolutionist and ecological/environmental aspects; reproduction, development and hereditary processes; interrelationships of living organisms; environmental and anthropic factors that affect their survival). In designing the curriculum, the Advisory Board of Biological Sciences has taken into consideration the career paths of biologists enrolled with the Italian National Register of Biologists (section B, junior), to which graduates in Biology can register after having passed the national qualifying examination.
The Advisory Board of Biological Sciences has also drawn on the national proposals of CBUI and the local information provided by the Orientation Committee.
Graduates in Biology can find work as employees of private or public bodies, or as self-employed professionals in several areas of biological sciences, i.e., with theoretical and applied research centres, hygiene and prophylaxis centres, chemical, biological and microbiological analytical labs, natural history museums, botanical gardens, parks or natural reserves and other protected areas, with public agencies for the monitoring of the environmental quality. The enrolment to the postgraduate academic routes of class LM-6 is also an option.
