Additional study plan information

Since the Course of Study is expected to enrol students with different cultural backgrounds, two alignment paths (Biology or Chemistry) are provided to ensure the achievement of the specific objectives of the training path. The CCD will assign the students to each path based on their curriculum.

The alignment courses of the first semester are provided in a mixed mode ( MOOC on Federica Web Learning platform – https://www.federica.eu/, online tutoring, laboratory in presence).

Before the starting of the first semester the students will attend an online section where the instruction about the structure of courses and how to attend them will be provided.

After the first semester, students follow a common training in presence. The lectures of second semester of first year will be at Federico II, the lectures of third semester of second year will be taken at Polytechnic of Turin. The second semester of second year is dedicated to the traineeship and thesis which can be done at Federico II, at Polytechnic of Turin or at companies.

1. Traineeship opportunities
   1. The students enrolled in the course may decide to carry out internships or training stages at organizations or companies that have an agreement with the University. The internship or stage activities are compulsory, and they contribute to the attribution of credits for the Other educational activities chosen by the student included in the study plan, as provided for by Art. 10, paragraph 5, letters d and e, of the D.M. 270/2004.
   2. The modalities of carrying out and the characteristics of internships and stages are regulated by the CCD (see Graduation thesis and exam)
   3. The University of Naples Federico II and the Polytechnic of Turin, through the Student Internship Office (UNINA) http://www.orientamento.unina.it/tirocini-per-iscritti/ and the Career Service Office (POLITO) https://careerservice.polito.it/studenti/tirocini , ensure a constant contact with the world of work, in order to offer students and graduates of the Universities concrete opportunities of internship and stage and to favour their professional placement.

International exchange programmes (Erasmus programme)

Students who intend to spend a period abroad under the Erasmus+ program for study (or Erasmus mobility for traineeship purposes) can find detailed information and the list of active agreements at the address:

http://www.scienzechimiche.unina.it/en_GB/didattica/erasmus

The Polytechnic of Turin and the University of Naples Federico II are involved in several international agreements to promote student mobility. Student mobility at UNINA is entrusted to the International Relations Office of the Research and Third Mission Department (https://www.unina.it/-/768443-ufficio-relazioni-internazionali) , while at POLITO it is entrusted to the Incoming Mobility Office (https://international.polito.it/admission/prospective_students/contact_us ) and the Outgoing Mobility Office of the Internationalization Area

(https://www.polito.it/international/mobilita/outgoing/?lang=en)

Customizing the study plan

At the end of the second semester the students have to send to Degree Programme Coordinator the choice of the Challenge Course or of the two elective courses using the form present on the website (www.scienzechimiche.unina.it/iccbe)

Graduation thesis and exam

The Graduation Thesis consists of a presentation of the Thesis to a special Degree Committee appointed by the CCD.

After earning 55 CFUs, the student enrolled in the second year may apply to the Degree Committee for assignment of the internship and thesis. The Commission assigns the traineeship and the thesis by identifying the supervisor and two counter-reporters who will verify the thesis work.

The thesis is carried out within research groups of the two universities, institutions, or external companies. In case the research activity is carried out outside the two universities, a co-rapporteur is also appointed who is responsible for the student’s activity with the institution or company.

The graduation grade, expressed in 110ths, will be established by the Graduation Committee on the basis of the weighted average of the scores obtained by the student in the profit exams taken (expressed in 110ths), and on the basis of the result of the Final Examination

Orientation to incoming students

The CCD organizes orientation initiatives in close coordination with the other courses of the Department of Chemical Sciences and the School of Polytechnics and Basic Sciences. The calendar of the orientation initiatives is available at the link

http://www.scienzechimiche.unina.it/orientamento-dsc

Degree Programme Director can be contacted for information or it possible to have information at the link http://www.orientamento.unina.it/orientati-con-noi/

Tutoring and counseling

The orientation and tutoring in itinere is developed through the active involvement of tutors responsible for providing students with guidelines and suggestions on the development of their university career, but also to grasp the difficulties encountered during their training path. The regulatory aspects are carried out by the CDS Coordinator.

The website www.scienzechimiche.unina.it/iccbe provides the Student’s Guide, the regulations concerning the modalities of carrying out thesis activities and the contextual attribution of the grade, the modalities of internships, the calendars of exams, the calendar of graduation exams, and other useful information for students.

Additional support services, aimed at reducing the drop-out phenomenon through different levels of intervention are also provided at UNINA by the University SINAPSI Centre (www.sinapsi.unina.it) and at POLITO by Special Needs Unit (https://didattica.polito.it/sostegno/)

Career orientation and job placement

Frequent meetings are organized at the University and School facilities with companies interested in recruitment, as well as job fairs and job meetings. Meetings with representatives of the Professional Associations and the Industrial Union are organized periodically.

The portal Orienta UNINA at link http://www.orientamento.unina.it/placement/ has a special section in which recruitment events, job fairs and opportunities for job placement are reported by companies.

The Polytechnic of Turin centrally manages, through the Career Service office, all the connection activities between the students of the University and the world of work. In this context, there are active programs of accompaniment to work, the details of which are illustrated and available on the website https://careerservice.polito.it/

Application timeline

The call for applications is issued in late June and is posted on the website:

www.scienzechimiche.unina.it/iccbe

Registration and enrollment normally takes place from September 1 to October 31 of each year, in ways that are publicized with a specific Enrollment and Fee Payment Guide published at URL:
