Chemical Safety and Toxicological Environmental Sciences (Classe L-29)-Enrolled from 2009/10 Academic Year
The degree in Chemical-Toxicological and Environmental Safety Sciences (SSCTA) belongs to Teaching Class "Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology", called L-29. According to the present rules, SSCTA shares 60 credits with the degree course in Herbal Sciences and Technologies belonging to the Faculty of Pharmacy and the same teaching class.
The main objectives of the course Chemical-Toxicological and Environmental Safety Sciences (SSCTA) are: learning the traditional and novel analytical approaches in the area of chemistry, biology, microbiology and toxicology. The methods are developed, according to certified procedures or new protocols, to measure pollutants present in the environment (water, air, soil) and contaminants in foods. These activities provide suitable and innovative tools to the bodies in charge for prevention and education.
The main goals of the degree in Chemical-Toxicological and Environmental Safety Sciences (SSCTA) are: 1) the contribution to the improvement of living conditions by identifying harmful environmental situations at risk for the population; 2) to help overcoming hazards and achieving better environmental conditions including the quality and the safety of the food chain. Moreover, the qualification of the students in SSCTA can be socially useful because they could promote a better cultural and scientific aggregation in understand environmental systems and predict environmental changes. The degree in SSCTA allows a specific culture and scientific expertise, which can be applied to support appropriate initiatives in environmental protection, that have a strict correlation with the protection of animal and human health.

The degree in Chemical-Toxicological and Environmental Safety Sciences (SSCTA) is awarded to students who have gained the knowledge described above and have acquired the expertise necessary to face and solve chemical and toxicological issues related to environment and food chain contamination. They must be ready to collaborate with national and international operators, in different scientific fields.
A doctor in Chemical-toxicological and environmental safety sciences (SSCTA), also in reference to activities classified by the Italian Institute ISTAT, is normally employed in the following fields: life sciences (in the area of biology, biochemistry, microbiology and pharmacology); laboratories associated with health sciences (technical activities in clinical laboratories, food safety, etc.); pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food industries; universities, public and private research facilities inside the National Health System and agencies responsible for regulations in health and food safety.
Compared to other degrees of the Class L-29 present at the University of Milan, the doctors in Chemical-toxicological and environmental safety sciences (SSCTA) receive a specific training allowing them to apply for a wide spectrum of employments (see ISTAT code interested).

Employment statistics (Almalaurea)
L'ammissione richiede il possesso, all'atto dell'immatricolazione, di conoscenze e competenze adeguate per poter seguire proficuamente il corso di laurea. Tali conoscenze comprendono una soddisfacente familiarità con il calcolo matematico di base, padronanza delle principali leggi della fisica meccanica e conoscenze di base della biologia cellulare e della chimica generale, doti di logica, una capacità di espressione orale e scritta senza esitazioni ed errori, una discreta cultura generale.
The course in Chemical-Toxicological and Environmental Safety Sciences (SSCTA) offers to its students the possibility to spend periods of study and training abroad using international programs of mobility and exchange; among them, the most important program is Erasmus+. The experience abroad is considered by the teachers of the course as a unique opportunity for the students to acquire personal experiences and professional skills.
The Universities hosting SSCTA students are at the moment located in Romania (Transilvania University of Brasov); Spain (Universities of Madrid and Granada), and Slovenia (University of Ljubljana).
The mobility is aimed to acquire credits (attending courses) and/or work in a training program, which can be used to prepare the final thesis
The universities involved in the exchanges offer activities in the area of biochemistry, pharmacology, and analytical methods (including both traditional and novel approaches).
Each student has a tutor, selected among the SSCTA teachers. All information about international mobility is reported at http://www.farmacia.unimi.it/CorsiDiLaurea/3125_ITA_HTML.html.
Reward for the period spent abroad:
According to the period spent abroad, each student must prepare a suitable Learning Agreement in term of credits:
- An academic year: 60 credits;
- An academic semester: 30 credits;
- A three-months period: 20 CFU
The students must obtain at least 70% of credits established in the Learning Agreement. For students spending a training period abroad, the student must obtain all credits reported in the Learning Agreement.
For the students, who finalize positively their training period, a reward is planned at the end of the academic carrier. Extra marks, ranging between 1 and 3 (according to the period spent abroad, the number of credits obtained, and the value of the whole experience), are added to the final grade taking into consideration the tutor's proposal.
