Research and development area includes the master programs and postgraduate courses for future researchers, chemists, biologists. Boys and girlsjust out of the bachelor's or master's degree, but also young men and women graduates and experienced professional can decide to become students of these advanced training courses to acquire specific knowledge in the field of research or scientific interest. It is in fact specialization programs for lovers of laboratory activities, analysis and surveys, fans of the disciplines related to biology, to the exploration of nature, science or chemistry buffs rather than for numbers and statistics. Development of projects, applications, products, new uses of materials and compounds, are the skills that these master programs in research and development give to students, who normally come from faculties of scientific subjects. these paths offer both standard classroom teaching and laboratory exercises.
