What does it train you for?
The Bachelor's Degree provides the scientific and methodological foundations for a solid knowledge of the natural world, seen in its biotic and abiotic components, in their relationships and in their historical development.
Lectures, exercises and field activities give the graduate familiarity with naturalistic and environmental methods, making him/her capable of carrying out sampling and analysing the data obtained with the appropriate statistical tools to support public and private research centres.
The Degree Course provides the scientific and methodological foundations to carry out junior professional activities in the various sectors of natural and environmental sciences and to collaborate with other professional figures in public administration.
The graduate will be able to effectively use at least one European Union language, in the specific area of expertise.
The Course includes both basic and characterizing courses, which provide the fundamental notions in the fields of Life and Earth Sciences, integrated with environmental, ecological and legal-economic courses.
The course's strengths are multidisciplinary excursions, field and laboratory activities, training internships and other activities for entering the world of work, as well as study visits at Italian and European universities, also within the framework of national and international agreements.
What do you learn?
The Bachelor's Degree in Natural and Environmental Sciences includes training courses aimed at developing skills in Natural Sciences through botanical, zoological, ecological and geological disciplines, and in Environmental Sciences through chemical, physical, legal and contextual disciplines.
The Course is divided into semesters and includes 20 courses for 180 CFU.
The Course is organized into basic courses (mathematics and statistics, chemistry, physics) and characterizing courses (Ecology, Zoology, Botany, Earth Sciences), which provide the fundamental notions in the fields of Life and Earth Sciences, integrated with courses of a more environmental, ecological and legal-economic nature.
What can you do with it?
In addition to continuing with the Master's Degrees in Natural Sciences (LM-60 R), Analysis and Enviromental Management (LM-75 R) and Marine Biology (LM-6 R) at the University of Palermo, the graduate in Natural and Environmental Sciences can find opportunities in junior professional roles such as collaborator in the field of monitoring and conservation of natural and environmental systems, collaborator in the field of definition, implementation and management of integrated programs of urban, territorial and environmental transformation and regeneration, the organizational manager for nature tourism, the educator and naturalistic/environmental disseminator.
