In the Faculty of Sciences and Technology, the Department of Biosciences (DBS) is responsible for the teaching and training activities related to the BS programmes (3 yrs) in:
• Biological sciences (almost entirely taught in Italian) - visit the websites
DBS is also associate Department in the teaching and training activities of other Bachelor programmes in:
• Biotecnologia (taught in Italian) in particular curriculum Biologico-industriale (from 2020-2021 renamed Molecolare e bioinformatico) - visit the websites
• Natural Sciences (taught in Italian) - visit the websites
MASTER programmes (2 yrs) in:
• Biodiversità ed evoluzione biologica (taught in Italian) - visit the websites
• Biologia applicata alla ricerca biomedica (taught in Italian) - visit the websites
• Biologia applicata alle scienze della nutrizione (taught in Italian) - visit the websites
• Bioinformatics for Computational Genomics, a joint degree with the School of Industrial and Information Engineering of the Politecnico of Milan (taught in English) - visit the websites
