The main objective of the course leading to the interclass degree in Biosciences and
Biotechnology for first level students in class L2 (Biotechnology) and L13 (Biological
Sciences) is to provide a broad and sound cultural background in the life sciences and
their applications in biotechnology.
The establishment of a first level degree course in Biosciences and Biotechnology stems
from the need to train a professional figure who can combine the broad and deep
knowledge of basic and advanced principles of biology with biotechnology skills to
successfully integrate into biotech companies, pharmaceutical companies and basic
research labs within a broad dynamic and international working context.
In this connection, all the courses will be presented in English; in this way the students
will be able to develop and master English language skills in a manner superior to that
possible in regular language classes so that international access and mobility for the
students and graduates would be facilitated.
In addition to the required technical and conceptual scientific courses, the degree
programs also includes modules relevant to socio-economic, juridical and informatics
aspects which are likewise essential in the international working context.
The interclass degree in Biosciences and Biotechnology consists of a common first year,
where the student is provided with a solid base in mathematics, physics, chemistry and
biology, followed by a second and third year when the student follows either the program
leading to the Biology or Biotechnology degree.
Upon enrolment in the interclass degree, students must indicate the qualification desired
(Biology or Biotechnology); however, the final decision between the two program
degrees can be delayed to the third year, provided that the missing credits are fully
covered.
To ensure a highly flexible and personalized curriculum, the interclass degree in
Biosciences and Biotechnology includes 12 credit units for elective courses. Furthermore,
15 credit units will be devoted to practical laboratory courses, “stage” internship and/or
additional professional training.
In summary, the major educational objective of this interclass degree is to give students
a solid biological background and multidisciplinary technical expertise as well as the
proficiency in English, suitable for a career in international biotech industries and
research labs.
Most of the credits obtained with this first level degree are prerequisites for enrolment in
the Second level degrees related to Biology and Biotechnology.
Contents
The “first level” interclass degree in Biosciences and Biotechnology offers two degree
programs:
* Biology (Degree class L-13)
* Biotechnology ( Degree class L-2)
Biology (L-13)
In addition to basic elements of mathematics, statistics, informatics, physics and
chemistry, the degree program in Biology provides an extensive and modern coverage of
the life sciences, from the morphological, functional, biochemical, molecular, genetic,
environmental and cellular points of view. Furthermore, the degree program is aimed at
teaching the methodological and technical know-how necessary in basic biological
research as well as in monitoring and quality control laboratories. In addition, the
scientific-technical training program will be integrated with topics related to economics
and law and training in communication skills.
The degree program in Biology is divided in core courses (134 CFU) and elective courses
(12 CFU). The remaining credits are devoted to: courses aimed at increasing proficiency
in English (6 CFU), practical laboratory courses (15 CFU), the internship (“stage”) (7
CFU) and the final exam (3 CFU).
Possible elective courses, propaedeutic for the admission to the second level degree
(Laurea Magistrale) are listed below.
Note that a student may submit for approval by the Class Advisory Board individual
curriculum for the following academic year, proposing learning goals other than those
proposed in the standard curriculum. The deadline for the presentation of the individual
curricula is the 15th of October of the academic year to which the curriculum refers.
The organization of the standard curriculum with the list of the disciplines and subjects,
the division into modules, and the number of credits awarded is presented in the table
below.
Biotechnology (L-2)
In addition to basic elements of mathematics, statistics, informatics, physics and
chemistry, the degree program in Biotechnology provides courses aimed at teaching
structure and function of the biological systems as well as the theoretical and practical
know-how necessary to produce modified biomolecules and/or cells useful in industrial
transformation procedures.
The scientific-technical training program will be integrated with topics related to
economics, law, bioethics, and training in communication skills and public relations.
The degree program in Biotechnology is divided in core courses (134 CFU) and elective
courses (12 CFU). The remaining credits are devoted to: courses aimed at increasing
proficiency in English (6 CFU), practical laboratory courses (15 CFU), the internship
(“stage”) (7 CFU) and the final exam (3 CFU).

To access Degree in Biosciences and Biotechnology, University of Camerino is necessary
to have a diploma of secondary school lasts, or even another qualification obtained
abroad and recognized as equivalent under suitable current law. To allow students who
are preparing to start university studies in the best way to deal with the Ministry of the
University has established (Decree 270/04 Art. 6) that first established the preparation in
