UNIVERSITY OF BOLOGNA FACULTY OF MATHEMATICAL, PHYSICAL AND NATURAL SCIENCES
THE FACULTY • The Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences is among the most complex Faculties within the University of Bologna because it involves many different scientific areas: • Mathematics • Physics and Astronomy • Chemistry • Computer Science • Biology • Geology • Natural Sciences • Environmental Sciences • Science for Conservation of Cultural Heritage The Faculty is composed of 409 faculty members: 124 full professors, 128 associate professors and 157 assistant professors. There are about 5500 students attending the faculty’s 2008/2009 academic year.
THE DEPARTMENTS • The wide range of degree courses offered has been developed with individual Departments, drawing on the numerous scientific competencies with which they operate. This allows also numerous direct interactions among the different disciplines. • Department of Astronomy : http://www.astronomia.unibo.it/Astronomia/ • Department of Experimental • Evolutionary Biology: http://www.dipartimentobiologia.it/ • Department of Chemistry: http://www.chimica.unibo.it/Chimica/

MULTICAMPUS Bologna has adopted a Multicampus structure in order to permit the diffusion of educational offering and the activation of a stabile research activity on the premises with the intent to better the functionality and quality of university community life. The Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences based in Bologna has courses also in the campus of Ravenna and Cesena. The Ravenna Campus represents a point of excellence in the studies of preservation, protection and appreciation of cultural heritage, archeology, restoration on one hand and the awareness of the environment and the promotion of environmental quality, law, relations with eastern European and Mediterranean nations, regional planning, and of urban design and health on the other. http://www.tecore.unibo.it/http://didattica.ambra.unibo.it/ The Cesena Campus of the Faculty has always hosted the area of Computer Sciences http://www.csr.unibo.it/
DEGREE COURSES The Faculty is made up of many Degree Courses divided into 14 first Level Degrees and 15 second Level or Master Degree Courses: http://www.eng.unibo.it/PortaleEn/Academic+programmes/Courses/MathematicalSciences/1stDegree/ http://www.eng.unibo.it/PortaleEn/Academic+programmes/Courses/MathematicalSciences/2ndDegree/ Undergrate students have access to 1st Level Degree Courses which last 3 years during and for which it is necessary to obtain 180 credits. Graduate students can apply for the 2nd Level Degree Courses which last 2 years and require the acquisition of 120 credits. INTERNATIONAL MASTER’S DEGREE IN BIOINFORMATICS The Faculty also offers an International Master’s Degree in Bioinformatics completely taught in English and aimed at generating knowledge and expertise in specific fields of Biology, Biotechnology and Medicine in the post-genomic era. http://www.biocomp.unibo.it/lsbioinfo/ Information concerning the Degree Course can be found on the Faculty’s website: http://www.scienze.unibo.it/Scienze+Matematiche/

Moreover, the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences requires admission tests to courses which are aimed at an orientation for the students and not a limitation for admission. The date of the Italian language and culture test is normally at the beginning of September. To be admitted to the test, on the day of the test itself the student must show his/her passport and entry visa for study reasons or his/her residence permit, or the receipt issued by police headquarters for application for the residence permit.
