Le conoscenze scientifiche specifiche, incluse quelle matematiche, fornite da quasi tutti i percorsi formativi secondari, sono da ritenersi sufficienti per l'iscrizione al corso di laurea e saranno verificate all'inizio dell'anno accademico con un test, obbligatorio e selettivo, che verte sulle materie di Base (Matematica, Fisica, Chimica e Scienze Naturali); sulla base del risultato, i candidati saranno inseriti in una graduatoria a scorrimento.
Il mancato raggiungimento della soglia minima di punteggio in una o più delle differenti discipline, stabilita dal Corso di studio, prevede l'attribuzione di specifici obblighi formativi aggiuntivi (OFA) che dovranno essere soddisfatti entro il primo anno di corso.Prova finale
Per conseguire la laurea lo studente deve aver acquisito 180 crediti formativi compresi quelli relativi alla prova finale.
La prova finale ha l'obiettivo di verificare il livello di maturità e la capacità critica del laureando, con riferimento agli apprendimenti e alle conoscenze acquisite, a completamento delle attività previste dall'ordinamento didattico.Orientamento in ingresso
Le azioni di orientamento in ingresso sono improntate alla realizzazione di processi di raccordo con la scuola secondaria di secondo grado.
Si concretizzano sia in attività informative e di approfondimento dei caratteri formativi dei Corsi di Studio (CdS) dell'Ateneo, sia in un impegno condiviso da scuola e università per favorire lo sviluppo di una maggiore consapevolezza da parte degli studenti e delle studentesse nel compiere scelte coerenti con le proprie conoscenze, competenze, attitudini e interessi.
Le attività promosse si articolano in:
a) incontri e iniziative rivolte alle future matricole;
b) sviluppo di servizi online (pagine social, sito), realizzazione e pubblicazione di materiali informativi sull'offerta formativa dei CdS (guide di dipartimento, guida breve di Ateneo, locandina dell'offerta formativa, newsletter dell'orientamento).
L'attività di orientamento in ingresso prevede cinque principali attività, distribuite nel corso dell'anno accademico, alle quali partecipano tutti i Dipartimenti e i CdS:
• Giornate di Vita Universitaria (GVU), si svolgono ogni anno nell'arco di circa 4 mesi e sono rivolte agli studenti degli ultimi due anni della scuola secondaria superiore.
Si svolgono in tutti i Dipartimenti dell'Ateneo e costituiscono un'importante occasione per le future matricole per vivere la realtà universitaria.
Gli incontri sono strutturati in modo tale che accanto alla presentazione dei Corsi di Laurea, gli studenti possano anche fare un'esperienza diretta di vita universitaria con la partecipazione ad attività didattiche, laboratori, lezioni o seminari, alle quali partecipano anche studenti seniores che svolgono una significativa mediazione di tipo tutoriale.
Partecipano annualmente circa 4.000 studenti; nel 2022 in via telematica hanno partecipato 1.923 e in presenza 1.788 per un totale di 3.711 utenti.
Inoltre le GVU 2022 hanno totalizzato su YouTube 4.627 visualizzazioni;
• Autorientamento, un progetto destinato agli studenti delle IV classi della scuola secondaria superiore e che si svolge ogni anno nell'arco di 5 mesi.
Si sviluppa in collaborazione diretta con alcune scuole per favorire l'accrescimento della consapevolezza nella scelta del percorso universitario da parte degli studenti.
Il progetto, infatti, è articolato in incontri svolti presso le scuole ed è finalizzato a sollecitare nelle future matricole una riflessione sui propri punti di forza e sui criteri di scelta.
Aspetto caratterizzante il progetto, inoltre, è la presenza degli studenti seniores dei nostri Corsi di Laurea che attraverso la propria esperienza formativa possono offrire un punto di vista attuale rispetto all'organizzazione e al funzionamento del mondo accademico.
Nell'anno scolastico 2021-22 la realizzazione del progetto, in modalità online, ha dato la possibilità a 16 scuole (per un totale di 832 studenti) - dislocate sul territorio romano e laziale - di partecipare.
• Attività di orientamento sviluppate dai singoli Dipartimenti, mediante incontri in presenza e servizi online;
• Incontri presso le scuole ed enti: l'Ufficio orientamento ha ricevuto inviti a partecipare ad eventi di orientamento da parte delle scuole per un totale di 37 inviti e 2 da due enti (Poliferie, un'Associazione di volontariato composta da giovani che si occupano di orientamento nelle zone più periferiche delle città; il Servizio Informagiovani di Roma Capitale).
Concordemente con quanto stabilito in Gloa (Gruppo di Lavoro per l'Orientamento di Ateneo) la procedura è stata la seguente: ogni invito è stato inoltrato ai referenti Gloa presso i dipartimenti e le scuole, a fronte delle diverse possibilità offerte, hanno liberamente scelto di partecipare anche alle proposte del nostro Ateneo.
Si evidenzia che anche in questa attività, come per le altre attività di orientamento, hanno partecipato varie scuole di altre Regioni, grazie alla possibilità dell'online.
• Orientarsi a Roma Tre nel 2022 si è svolta in presenza presso il Nuovo Palazzo degli Uffici di Via Ostiense 133.
Nelle aule del dipartimento di Giurisprudenza sono state organizzate le presentazioni dell'offerta formativa dei Dipartimenti che sono state seguite anche in diretta streaming e che poi sono state caricate su YouTube.
Il portale dell'orientamento realizzato nel 2020 è stato aggiornato e ne è stata realizzata una versione in inglese: orientamento.uniroma3.it.
Rappresenta la manifestazione che riassume le annuali attività di orientamento in ingresso e si svolge ogni anno alla fine dell'anno accademico.
L'evento accoglie, perlopiù, studenti romani che partecipano per mettere definitivamente a fuoco la loro scelta universitaria.
Durante la manifestazione viene presentata l'offerta formativa e sono promossi tutti i principali servizi di Roma Tre, le segreterie didattiche e la segreteria studenti.
I servizi di orientamento online messi a disposizione dei futuri studenti universitari sono nel tempo aumentati, tenendo conto dello sviluppo delle nuove opportunità di comunicazione tramite web e tramite social.
Inoltre, durante tutte le manifestazioni di presentazione dell'offerta formativa, sono illustrati quei siti web di Dipartimento, di Ateneo, Portale dello studente, etc., che possono aiutare gli studenti nella loro scelta.
Infine, l'Ateneo valuta, di volta in volta, l'opportunità di partecipare ad ulteriori occasioni di orientamento in presenza ovvero online (Salone dello studente ed altre iniziative).
Per il Corso di Laurea in Scienze per la Protezione della Natura e la Sostenibilità Ambientale, essendo solo al secondo anno di attivazione, le attività di orientamento in ingresso devono ancora consolidarsi.
L'auspicabile attivazione del PLS in Scienze per l'Ambiente e la Natura contribuirà sicuramente a creare e consolidare un network stabile con le scuole nel prossimo futuro.
Inoltre, la Commissione Didattica Permanente del CdL in Scienze per la Protezione della Natura e la Sostenibilità Ambientale organizza azioni specifiche attraverso una commissione dedicata alle attività di orientamento in ingresso.
Tale commissione si occupa di gestire specifiche attività, quali: presentazione dei percorsi formativi del CdS agli studenti del IV e V anno delle scuole secondarie, incontri con studenti interessati che chiedono di poter visitare il Dipartimento; attività di accoglienza rivolta alle matricole.
Le attività svolte dalla CDP del CdL in Scienze per la Protezione della Natura e la Sostenibilità Ambientale sono riportate nel sito web del dipartimento (https://scienze.uniroma3.it/didattica/orientamento/).
La Commissione orientamento organizza la presentazione del Corso di Laurea in CdL in Scienze per la Protezione della Natura e la Sostenibilità Ambientale nell'ambito di differenti iniziative organizzate dall'Ateneo come la Giornata di Vita Universitaria (GVU) che si svolge generalmente nel mese di febbraio e l'Open Day di Ateneo che generalmente si svolge nel mese di luglio.
Inoltre, partecipa al 'Salone dello Studente' che si svolge ogni anno alla Fiera di Roma nel mese di novembre.
In particolare, per quanto riguarda l'A.A.
2022/2023:
-è stato riproposto il video di presentazione del corso di Laurea che vede protagonista il Dott.
Mario Tozzi, geologo e divulgatore scientifico.
Il video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dvMg8ZB-Sg) ha avuto grande successo sul web, incoraggiando la CDP a potenziare nelle attività future questo tipo di pubblicità.
-Il CdS in Scienze per la Protezione della Natura e la Sostenibilità Ambientale ha partecipato, insieme al Dipartimento e in modalità online, all'Open day (Orientarsi a Roma Tre, https://orientamento.uniroma3.it/).
In tale ambito, è stata organizzata una presentazione generale del Corso di Laurea da parte di alcuni docenti, una camera virtuale di incontri tra i ragazzi e studenti di Roma Tre e dimostrazioni virtuali di attività di laboratorio.
A novembre il corso di Laurea ha partecipato alla ‘Notte Europea dei Ricercatori' (https://www.uniroma3.it/articoli/notte-europea-dei-ricercatori-e-delle-ricercatrici-2021-171106/) e, a febbraio 2022 alla la Giornata di Vita Universitaria (https://scienze.uniroma3.it/articoli/la-giornata-di-vita-universitaria-2022-del-dipartimento-di-scienze-203141/), entrambe in modalità mista (presenza e online).
Il Corso di Studio in breve
Il Corso di Laurea in Scienze per la Protezione della Natura e la Sostenibilità Ambientale ha lo scopo di formare tecnici esperti nella protezione della natura e nella sostenibilità ambientale.
Questo corso di Laurea triennale, attivato per rispondere ad una aumentata richiesta di formazione nell'ambito della protezione della natura e della sostenibilità ambientale, è gestito dal Dipartimento di Scienze dell'Università Roma Tre, che ha ottenuto, per la qualità della ricerca svolta, il riconoscimento di 'Dipartimento di Eccellenza' per il secondo quinquennio consecutivo (2018-2022 e 2023-2027) su un progetto di ricerca sull'Antropocene e sugli impatti antropici sull'ambiente e la salute.
I docenti del Dipartimento di Scienze svolgono attività di ricerca d'avanguardia a livello nazionale e internazionale nelle Aree della Chimica, della Fisica, della Biologia e della Geologia, rappresentando punte di eccellenza nei propri settori di specializzazione, e trasferiscono le loro competenze nell'attività didattica, attraverso un approccio teorico-pratico.
Il conseguimento della Laurea triennale in Scienze per la Protezione della Natura e la Sostenibilità Ambientale garantisce il raggiungimento di una solida base culturale e metodologica per una successiva specializzazione mediante lauree magistrali in ambito biologico o geologico, che a loro volta aprono la strada verso l'alta formazione nel settore della ricerca scientifica (dottorato di ricerca), oppure verso l'insegnamento nella scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado.
D'altro canto, il laureato che volesse entrare nel mondo del lavoro al termine del percorso triennale, potrà utilizzare le competenze acquisite come professionista iscritto all'Ordine Nazionale dei Biologi (sez.
B), come divulgatore scientifico ed educatore ambientale o per effettuare procedure tecnico-analitiche e di controllo per la protezione dell'ambiente e di igiene delle acque, dell'aria e del suolo.
Il Corso di Laurea in Scienze per la Protezione della Natura e la Sostenibilità Ambientale è un corso universitario ad accesso programmato.
L'ammissione al Corso di Laurea richiede un diploma di scuola secondaria superiore o altro titolo di studio conseguito all'estero e riconosciuto idoneo.
Per l'iscrizione al Corso di Laurea sono sufficienti le conoscenze acquisite grazie ai programmi di studio svolti nel percorso di scuola secondaria di secondo grado.
Tali conoscenze saranno verificate all'inizio dell'anno accademico con un test, obbligatorio e selettivo, che verte sulle materie di Base (Matematica, Fisica e Chimica), sulle Scienze Naturali e su materie di cultura generale (Ragionamento Logico e Comprensione del Testo).
È possibile immatricolare un massimo di 100 studenti per anno accademico, numero corrispondente al massimo previsto dalla legge per questa tipologia di corso di studi (Classe L-32).
Questa numerosità consente un ottimale bilanciamento tra il numero di studenti e il numero di docenti, permettendo lo svolgimento di un percorso formativo di altissima qualità, che affianca all'apprendimento teorico molte attività pratiche, svolte sia in laboratorio, sia nell'ambiente naturale (il vero 'laboratorio' del naturalista).
Le studentesse e gli studenti potranno usufruire di laboratori ad alta specializzazione e sistemi informatici.
A ciò si aggiunge il supporto fornito dai progetti di tutorato, articolati in attività di studio guidato, rivolto sia a gruppi che a singoli studenti e altre attività di supporto.
Nell'ambito culturale in cui si colloca, il Corso di Laurea in Scienze per la Protezione della Natura e la Sostenibilità Ambientale si caratterizza per la marcata integrazione tra teoria e pratica.
I laureati in Scienze per la Protezione della Natura e la Sostenibilità Ambientale sapranno utilizzare con competenza il metodo scientifico, sia per il rilevamento e la classificazione di dati sperimentali, sia per loro elaborazione e interpretazione.
La maggior parte degli insegnamenti, affiancando alle lezioni in aula numerose attività nell'ambiente naturale e/o in laboratorio, porterà all'acquisizione delle conoscenze fondamentali su tutti i livelli di organizzazione della Biosfera e della Geosfera.
La Biosfera sarà studiata a livello di molecole, cellule, tessuti, organi ed organismi unicellulari e multicellulari, anche in relazione alle loro interazioni ecologiche.
Per quanto riguarda la Geosfera, i laureati saranno competenti nei campi della geografia fisica, geologia, paleontologia, mineralogia, petrografia e geochimica.
Tali competenze gli consentiranno di identificare le perturbazioni ambientali causate dall'attività umana e di formulare ipotesi di gestione e recupero.
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.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
(objectives)
The course aims to provide students with the knowledge necessary to deeply understand chemical structures, physical properties, preparations, and typical reactivity of organic compounds throughout the study of the most common functional groups. The inherent target is to highlight the role and the effect of Organic Chemistry in Natural Sciences and modern technology with particular attention to biological and naturalistic aspects as well as to problems concerning pollution and environmental sustainability. In this area, the acquired knowledge will play a crucial role in the study of the other disciplines envisaged in the CdS (Biochemistry, Physiology, Genetics). At the end of the course, the students should develop the skill and expertise to (1) recognise and comprehend the structural and physical properties of organic compounds, (2) autonomously understand and analyse the reactivity of the main classes of biomolecules, (3) use a suitable technical-scientific language in order to clearly explain and present the acquired concepts as well as to disseminate ideas, information, and explanations.

The course contains two teaching units: Environmental Geology and Environmental Geochemistry. Environmental Geology aims to understand the importance of geological, hydrogeological and geological-technical analyses for maintaining environmental balance, through the recognition of geological processes whose effects create problems of danger and risk at an environmental and local level. The teaching unit aims to provide knowledge to examine the geological phenomena that affect the evolution of the environment and the territory and to analyse the environmental effects deriving from the implementation of engineering projects, through the identification of the relationship between natural phenomena and those influenced by anthropic activity that determine the qualitative evolution of the environment. Environmental Geochemistry aims to provide a critical knowledge of the main issues and problems relating to the abundance, distribution and mobility of chemical species in the environment (rocks, sediments, soils, waters, air, living beings). It aims also to provide technical-scientific knowledge on the characterization of the various environmental matrices, on the chemical-physical processes that characterize natural systems and on environmental contamination. These objectives are consistent with the educational objectives of the entire Degree Course. The expected learning outcomes are closely linked to the educational objectives. The students will know the composition and reactive properties of geological materials, in their various forms of aggregation (solids, liquids, solutions and gases) and will be able to recognize anthropic alterations on the chemistry of natural systems.

CLIMATE CHANGES
(objectives)
The course of study aims to provide knowledge to understand the mechanisms that determine the natural variability of the climate system and the causes of the ongoing climate change induced by the use of fossil fuels and by the change in land use. Within the framework of this course, the course aims to provide 1) a thorough knowledge of the global climate system (atmosphere-hydrosphere-cryosphere-lithosphere); 2) to provide knowledge on natural climatic variations and the causes of climatic changes induced by anthropogenic forcers on a short-medium term scale (from decadal to one million years) from historical and geological archives; 3) provide knowledge on future scenarios of climate change globally and in Italy. At the end of the course students will have developed the basic knowledge on the natural variability of the climate system and on climate change. The expected learning outcomes are the students’ ability to recognize and contextualize future scenarios due to climate change and to solve simple problems related to the impact of climate change on the environment on a local scale.

GEOSTORY OF CLIMATE CHANGE
(objectives)
Earth is a dynamic system in constant evolution. The arrangement of emerged lands, the abundance of some elements, climate, life, profoundly changed over the 4.5 billion years of its history. We will retrace back in time the milestones of the evolution of the Earth, the possible causes of those pivotal changes, their repercussions in our everyday life (with a special insight to the genesis of georesources), and we will discuss possible future scenarios.

INTEGRATED COURSE OF ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
(objectives)
The course aims to (i) provide a basic knowledge of the main environmental issues and problems within the historical dynamism linked to the social, cultural and economic context, and (ii) propose interdisciplinary approaches linked to other disciplines and research fields. The course aims also to provide suitable tools to propose correct assessment and environmental management criteria for complex problems with relevant implications for human society and activities. The program focuses on: i) developing expertise and operational skills in a professional context, in which the ability to formulate correct hypotheses is required and, consequently, collect and exploit data to identify and analyze problems, elaborating possible solutions; ii) realizing sustainable planning and management strategies of sites of environmental, economic and socio-cultural interest; iii) designing protocols for the analysis and mitigation of threats and disturbs to ecosystem services. As for the expected learning outcomes, students are prepared to deal with the analysis and solution of environmental problems, through the understanding and implementation of actions allowing to plan a rationale use of natural resources. At the end of the course, students will acquire skills to critically analyze the environmental implications of transversal problems; they will be also able to distinguish between natural and humane-mediated processes, identify the main drivers causing environmental alterations, and indicate the detrimental critical elements. Students will mainly acquire the ability to propose possible solutions in collaboration with experts of different disciplines through the application of interdisciplinary approaches.
