Autonomia di giudizio
L'ampia parte di percorso formativo dedicata all'attività pratica di laboratorio consente agli studenti di affrontare attivamente e criticamente i molteplici aspetti di cui si compongono le moderne biotecnologie industriali finalizzate alla salute e il benessere.
Sulla base di questa esperienza, delle nozioni apprese nei corsi di insegnamento, dello svolgimento del tirocinio e della tesi sperimentale che prevede un internato/frequenza di laboratorio e la redazione della tesi di laurea, i laureati devono acquisire autonomia di azione e di giudizio trasferibili a contesti diversi di ricerca, ricerca e sviluppo o produzione che si basata su:
- competenza nella definizione e progettazione di attività sperimentali finalizzate allo sviluppo e/o gestione di processi biotecnologici per l’ottenimento di prodotti di interesse industriale e commerciale;
- capacità di scelta delle tecniche biomolecolari, biologiche, strumentali, computazionali e delle procedure sperimentali idonee alla caratterizzazione strutturale e funzionale delle diverse molecole bioattive e biosistemi;
- capacità nella raccolta, elaborazione ed interpretazione dei dati sperimentali e confronto con fonti bibliografiche opportunamente reperite e vagliate.
L'autonomia di giudizio sarà verificata in occasione delle attività pratiche di laboratorio, delle prove di esame e della prova finale.
Abilità comunicative
I laureati magistrali in Biotecnologie Industriali per la Salute e il Benessere sono in grado di comunicare in maniera chiara e univoca, in forma scritta, parlata e attraverso l'impiego di risorse informatiche e con sistemi multimediali, le attività di ricerca, i risultati scientifici ottenuti, ad esempio durante l’attività di tesi di laurea, e di sostenere una discussione critica sugli argomenti trattati.
Inoltre, i laureti sono in grado di comunicare in modo chiaro le caratteristiche strutturali e funzionali dei sistemi biologici e delle biomolecole e gli aspetti impiantistici e di processo delle biotecnologie industriali anche a interlocutori non specialisti.
I laureati sanno comunicare tematiche di tipo biologico, biotecnologico e bio-industriale anche in lingua inglese, in forma scritta e parlata.
In particolare, le abilità comunicative saranno verificate al momento dello svolgimento delle prove di esame, durante l’internato/frequenza di laboratorio per lo svolgimento del lavoro di tesi, infine, nella redazione e discussione della tesi di laurea.
Capacità di apprendimento
I laureati magistrali in Biotecnologie Industriali per la Salute e il Benessere hanno capacità di approfondire tematiche complesse nel campo delle biotecnologie e alla biologia applicata.
Devono, quindi, saper lavorare in modo autonomo e di proseguire autonomamente gli studi a livelli di formazione superiori in campo biotecnologico (master e dottorato di ricerca).
Queste capacità sono conseguite con lo studio individuale dei singoli insegnamenti e durante la preparazione della tesi di laurea magistrale.
La capacità di apprendimento viene verificata in occasione delle prove di esame e della prova finale.
Requisiti di ammissione
Per essere ammessi al corso di Laurea Magistrale in Biotecnologie Industriali per la Salute e il Benessere (LM-8) occorre essere in possesso di una laurea triennale (o quinquennale) o di altro titolo di studi equipollente conseguito all'estero.
In particolare, l'accesso è consentito a tutti coloro che sono in possesso di una laurea triennale nella classe L-2 e L-13 (o loro ordinamenti previgenti) o anche a quanti hanno acquisito un minimo di 36 CFU in almeno 6 dei seguenti settori scientifico disciplinari: CHIM/03, CHIM/06, CHIM/11, BIO/10, BIO/11, BIO/18, BIO/19, AGR/13, AGR/07 e AGR/16.
Costituisce requisito d'accesso anche un'adeguata conoscenza della lingua inglese (livello B1).
I laureati in possesso di tali requisiti dovranno sostenere una prova di verifica della preparazione personale, secondo la modalità di seguito illustrata: colloquio orale oppure in forma di test che verterà sulle conoscenze di base e sulle competenze acquisite per le discipline di Biochimica, Biologia molecolare, Genetica, Microbiologia ed Inglese B1.
La prova potrà tenersi in varie sessioni secondo un calendario che verrà pubblicato annualmente.
Prova finale
La prova finale costituisce un momento formativo individuale fondamentale nel percorso di Laurea Magistrale e consiste nella redazione, anche in lingua inglese, e nella discussione di una tesi scritta elaborata in modo originale dallo studente su un argomento coerente con gli obiettivi del corso di studio, sotto la guida di un relatore.
Durante il lavoro sperimentale, lo studente acquisisce conoscenze sulle metodologie sperimentali e sul metodo di indagine scientifico, nonché di analisi ed elaborazione dei dati.
Con la dissertazione di fronte ad una Commissione di Laurea nominata dal Direttore di Dipartimento, lo studente deve dimostrare la padronanza degli argomenti, capacità critica, l'attitudine a operare in modo autonomo e una capacità di comunicazione di buon livello.Orientamento in ingresso
Le attività di orientamento in entrata realizzate dall'Università degli Studi della Tuscia di Viterbo si collocano a livello centrale (Ateneo) e periferico, che nel caso del CdS LM-8 sono i due Dipartimenti che contribuiscono alla gestione del CdS interdipartimentale, il DIBAF e il DEB.
Il DIBAF, dipartimento di afferenza del corso di studio in Biotecnologie L-2 e Biotecnologie Industriali per la Salute e il Benessere (LM-8), in genere programma annualmente diverse attività di supporto e informazione agli studenti per consentire una scelta informata e consapevole del proprio percorso universitario.
Il Dipartimento ha individuato un referente per le attività di orientamento in ingresso che svolge un ruolo di coordinamento delle stesse; anche il CdS ha un proprio referente che, insieme al coordinatore del CdS, partecipa alla organizzazione delle attività di orientamento in ingresso.
Anche il DEB, l'altro dipartimento coinvolto nella gestione del CdS, avrà un ruolo attivo in tutto questo.
In particolare, l'orientamento in ingresso si realizza attraverso le seguenti attività:
a) ogni anno accademico, l'Ateneo e i Dipartimenti organizzano due giornate di orientamento (Open Day).
In queste occasioni vengono presentati il Dipartimento e i vari Corsi di Laurea.
Seguono incontri di approfondimento con i Coordinatori dei corsi di studio;
b) organizzazione di specifiche attività con le Scuole secondarie superiori duranti i quali si illustrano i CdS e le cosiddette “filiere formative” illustrando percorsi 3+2 che includono quindi anche le laurea magistrali che rappresentano opportunità di prosecuzione degli studi e che guidano la scelta anche del CdS triennale;
c) organizzazione di attività di orientamento alla scelta della laurea magistrale a livello di dipartimento e di ateneo che mirano ad illustrare nel dettaglio agli studenti delle lauree triennali l'offerta formativa, gli sbocchi occupazionali e il profilo professionale del laureato magistrale;
d) sportello di orientamento attivato dal DIBAF, a cui rivolgersi per acquisire informazioni sull'offerta formativa e sui servizi del Dipartimento di afferenza del CdS (DIBAF) e del DEB;
e) partecipazione dei docenti a saloni / manifestazioni di orientamento di carattere nazionale o regionale, a giornate aperte ed eventi culturali organizzati nel territorio, finalizzati a presentare in modo ampio e dettagliato i percorsi formativi offerti dalla struttura didattica;
f) organizzazione di una giornata, per gli studenti iscritti al primo anno della laurea magistrale, finalizzata alla presentazione dei singoli insegnamenti e delle attività di ricerca che si svolgono al latere degli stessi, visto che la formazione è strettamente legata alla ricerca ed alla sua mutabilità in termini di crescita di informazioni, modalità di indagine e gestione dei risultati.
Per lo svolgimento delle attività di orientamento la struttura didattica si avvale del supporto degli studenti senior e dei dottorandi selezionati in base a concorsi banditi dalla strutture stesse per il conferimento di assegni per attività di tutorato e orientamento (i cosiddetti studenti-tutor).
Il Corso di Studio in breve
In un quadro generale di riferimento in cui la qualità, l’origine e la sostenibilità delle produzioni industriali finalizzate ai settori cosmetico, cosmeceutico, nutraceutico e farmaceutico risultano sempre più di maggiore interesse del consumatore, dell’industria e del mercato, l’estrazione, la produzione e la caratterizzazione chimico-biologica da un punto di vista strutturale, funzionale e fisiologico di molecole bioattive, a medio ed alto valore aggiunto, diventa fondamentale.
Questo impone una visione olistica e multi-disciplinare delle biotecnologie industriali dedicate alla salute ed il benessere che deve tenere conto della sostenibilità dei processi e delle aspettative dei consumatori che sono sempre più attenti alla qualità e alla tutela dell’ambiente; in questo contesto, l’utilizzo di risorse rinnovabili (economia circolare) e di processi biotecnologici è imprescindibile.
La salute ed il benessere dell'uomo sono quindi posti al centro dell’attenzione dei mercati futuri nella pianificazione strategica dello sviluppo industriale della Comunità Europea e della Comunità Internazionale.
La Laurea Magistrale in Biotecnologie Industriali per la Salute e il Benessere mira a formare laureati che siano in grado di progettare, produrre e/o recuperare molecole bioattive di origine vegetale, animale, microbica e di semi-sintesi con interesse cosmetico, cosmeceutico, nutraceutico e farmaceutico.
Lo studente del CdS è, quindi, chiamato ad apprendere le metodologie scientifiche avanzate necessarie per lo studio e lo sviluppo dei processi di estrazione delle sostanze naturali, di caratterizzazione delle molecole bio-attive e di progettazione di nuove sostanze con effetti biologici mirati, della determinazione del loro effetto farmacogenetico e tossicologico, e della realizzazione di sistemi biomolecolari, biocatalitici e dei bioprocessi microbiologici fondamentali per concretizzare l'impiego delle biotecnologie nel mondo della ricerca applicata, delle produzioni industriali e dei servizi correlati alla salute ed il benessere dell’uomo.
Il CdS magistrale è articolato in un pacchetto di 8 insegnamenti obbligatori e di 3 insegnamenti opzionali da scegliere fra un gruppo di 7, oltre a 12 CFU di attività formative a scelta (AFS) ed un insegnamento di inglese B2.
Il percorso, connotato da attività pratiche di laboratorio presso strutture che svolgono collaborazioni con il mondo industriale, consente di fornire elevate competenze di base ed applicate, per approfondire aspetti altamente professionalizzanti.
Lo studente espliciterà le proprie scelte al momento della presentazione,
tramite il sistema informativo di ateneo, del piano di completamento o del piano di studio individuale,
secondo quanto stabilito dal regolamento didattico del corso di studio.
