Learning objectives
Chemistry General aims of this education are to provide the essential elements to acquire the modern theories on the atomic and molecular structure of the inorganic and organic matter. The students should be able to comprehend and analyse the macroscopic phenomena emerging from several molecular steps and should focus their attention on the importance of the energetic variations associated to the phenomena. A major attention will be addressed to the study of the interactions present in the organic compounds, to help the student to acquire durable theoretical basis to understand the complex biochemical processes through a “molecular key”. Specific aims are: Understanding the electronic configuration in order to understand the properties 'periodic and reactivity' of chemical elements. Understanding of changes in the external electronic structure in the molecules formation. Understanding the nature of the forces between the molecules. To explain the chemical and physical concepts of energy and balance, which regulate all biological phenomena. Understanding the importance of water as a solvent in biological systems; understanding the properties of acids and bases. Understanding the concept of pH and buffer solutions in biological systems. Understanding the meaning of osmotic flow and its importance in medicine. Understanding the significance of reactions of electron transfer in biological systems. Understanding the importance of the structure of organic molecules and recognize the different classes of organic compounds, their officials and their chemical reactivity.

Informazioni relative l’ammissione ad anni successivi al primo del CdS al seguente link:
Fermo restando l’indefettibile numero di posti disponibili e il numero di CFU riconoscibili il Collegio Didattico o organo delegato, al fine di determinare una graduatoria di merito degli ammissibili ad anni successivi al primo, può deliberare la somministrazione di una prova integrativa o altri criteri di valutazione, i cui termini e modalità saranno resi noti contestualmente alla pubblicazione dell’ apposito bando concorso.
Riconoscimento carriera pregressa
A.A. 2024/2025
Per valutazione della carriera pregressa, si intende il riconoscimento dei Crediti Formativi Universitari (CFU) e degli esami sostenuti presso un altro corso di laurea dell’Università di Verona o di altro ateneo o a seguito del conseguimento di una precedente laurea. La valutazione della carriera pregressa avviene formalmente solo in seguito all'immatricolazione o al trasferimento, oppure dopo l’avvenuto passaggio interno da un corso ad un altro dell’Ateneo di Verona Pertanto non sono previste valutazioni preventive della carriera pregressa. Informazioni generali sono presenti al seguente link: Informazioni relative al riconoscimento crediti acquisiti da una carriera pregressa sono presenti al seguente link: Criteri di valutazione per il riconoscimento della carriera pregressa del CdS. Ai fini del riconoscimento della carriera pregressa saranno presi in considerazione solo le attività didattiche completate e registrate entro la data di presentazione della domanda di valutazione. Non saranno considerati esami parzialmente superati. Possono essere riconosciuti attività formative nell’ambito dei crediti elettivi fino ad un massimo di 5 CFU. Non saranno riconosciuti esami superati nei corsi di laurea delle Professioni sanitarie, ad esclusione di esami ritenuti completamente equipollenti sulla base dei contenuti dei relativi programmi. Il Collegio Didattico o altro organo delegato valuterà e delibererà il riconoscimento della carriera pregressa analizzando, i programmi degli esami superati, i CFU assegnati, la congruità delle tipologie e dei contenuti delle attività formative con gli obiettivi formativi specifici delle attività previste dal CdLM a Ciclo Unico in Odontoiatria e Protesi Dentaria dell’Ateneo di Verona, incluse le attività pratiche. I CFU acquisiti a seguito della valutazione della carriera pregressa, possono consentire l’ammissione ad anni successivi al primo e quindi l’abbreviazione di carriera, a condizione che si realizzino i seguenti presupposti:
27 CFU per l’ammissione al secondo anno 85 CFU per l’ammissione al terzo anno 143 CFU per l’ammissione al quarto anno 203 CFU per l’ammissione al quinto anno 263 CFU per l’ammissione al sesto anno |

A.A. 2024/2025
E’ consentito il passaggio da un anno di corso al successivo, esclusivamente agli studenti che, al termine della sessione autunnale, abbiano superato gli esami previsti nel piano didattico per quell’anno di corso con un debito didattico massimo di 31 CFU.
Gli esami che rientrano nel debito didattico devono essere superati prima di sostenere gli esami di profitto del successivo anno di corso.
