Flexible Entry Options

Learners can enter the field of Sustainable Chemistry without committing immediately to a full Master’s programme. Options include:

  • English-language certificate programmes (e.g., Sustainable Chemistry & Benign by Design; Sustainable Chemistry & Regulatory Affairs; Practices of Sustainable Chemistry)
  • Single-module studies with or without examinations
  • Individually combined certificates through the Professional School Individuale

These formats allow professionals to tailor their learning path and potentially transfer earned credits into the Master’s programmes.
