The main objective of the Master’s Degree program is the training of highly qualified and specialized professional figures who can apply their expertise in biology to issues related to research, environmental management, and biotechnological development. The educational program will lead the Master’s Degree student to an in-depth knowledge of the specific ecological processes of marine and coastal environments, enabling them to contribute both to their conservation and to the sustainable management of the goods and services they produce. The Master’s Degree will cover a number of topics related to the functioning of marine and coastal environments, to marine biodiversity and research, and to the characterization of new resources for the development of innovative biotechnological products and processes.

Field-based educational activities

In May, the professors of Marine Biology and Ecology degree programme organizes the Blue Week: an intensive five-day immersion in the picturesque setting of Ponza Island. During this week, students engage in both fieldwork and laboratory exercises, applying the theoretical and practical knowledge gained throughout their studies. On Ponza Island, the Department has recently established a Biological Station dedicated to the study of marine and coastal ecosystems, providing students and researchers with the opportunity to undertake a wide range of experimental investigations.
