Career Opportunities
Graduates in Chemistry-Chemistry will deal with the design, synthesis, and characterization of products and materials that meet the criteria of efficiency and environmental sustainability dictated by the current social feeling and by the strict European regulations that came into force in 2007; the use of the most modern technologies for the structural determination of new molecules and their interactions with macro-biomolecules. They will be familiar with the use of spectroscopic and computational techniques to solve structural and dynamic problems, or to correlate the molecular microscopic properties with the macroscopic properties of the substances
