Requirements and knowledge required for access
The curricular prerequisites to access the Master's Degree Course in Industrial Chemistry are those peculiar of the L-27 class of degree courses, and in particular:
- at least 20 credits in disciplines of mathematics (from MAT/01 to MAT/09), physics (from FIS/01 to FIS/08) and information technology (INF/01; ING-INF/05);
- at least 70 CFU in discipline groups belonging to the distinguishing areas included in the L-27 Class Table (Analytical and Environmental chemistry - CHIM/01 and CHIM/12; Inorganic and Physical chemistry - CHIM/03 and CHIM/02; Industrial chemistry and engineering - CHIM/04, CHIM/05, ING-IND/21-22, ING-IND/25; Organic chemistry and Biochemistry CHIM/06- BIO/10-12).
Moreover, also a minimum English language proficiency at minimum level B2 within the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is required.

The above disciplinary credits are fully recognized to graduates of the undergraduate programs of Class L-27 of the Università degli Studi di Milano. All other students must demonstrate to have the curricular requirements of the graduates of the class L-27. Different curricular profiles will be evaluated by the Admission Commission.

Methods for verifying knowledge and personal preparation
Before the enrolment knowledge assessment, students must submit an application for admission, through an online procedure, during the period and according to the methods indicated on the website https://sic.cdl.unimi.it/en/enrolment where it is also possible to find all the updated information on the admission and subsequent enrolment procedures. Graduates who intend to graduate by December 31, 2026 may also submit an application for admission.

The verification of knowledge and personal preparation will be verified through an interview with the Admission Commission, composed by teachers appointed by the Teaching Council, who will ascertain student personal skills on topics related to fundamental aspects of core chemistry disciplines of the degree in Industrial Chemistry. The failure of the interview prevents the access to the MSc in Sustainable Industrial Chemistry for the current year.
The interview is scheduled in June, July, September and December and can be carried out before graduation, subject to the possession of the curricular requirements indicated above.
For non-EU students, who may have visa and/or residence permit problems, an interview will also be scheduled in May. Furthermore, it will be possible for them to schedule the interview remotely using a videoconferencing platform. It is recommended to all foreign students to take advantage of this early-bird possibility to avoid problems in obtaining all the documentation useful for the enrolment.

FOR A BETTER TEACHING PLANNING ALL CANDIDATES, INCLUDING THOSE EXPECTING to graduate before December 31st, 2025, ARE STRONGLY SUGGESTED TO APPLY FOR the INTERVIEW in July or September.

MOREOVER, proficiency in English at a B2 level or higher, under to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), is required for admission.
