The scientific disciplines are the sciences of reason. Their teaching aims to deliver a personal heritage of specific knowledge to young people and to provide the categories of thought in order to manage and enrich it.
Through the knowledge of the different sciences, one is able to read reality. The historical, social and cultural relevance of science requires for it to be offered to the new generations in a modern way, without ever renouncing the rigor and depth that distinguish it.

The space destined to the teaching of Mathematics turns out to be greater than what the ministerial curriculum requires.
The teaching of Mathematics is based on a conscious development and practice of the logical-deductive way of thinking.
The topics that are gradually addressed are explained and introduced through the dialogue between students and professor in order to promote the growth of the students’ critical thinking skills.

Asking the students to solve problems plays a significant role in their cognitive growth because it teaches them to observe and it stimulates their creativity in the search for logically coherent solution strategies.

The study of Physics is concerned with observing natural phenomena and building related models by using mathematical language.

Physics is taught by teachers with degrees in this discipline, who also constantly bring the students to our physics lab. In the lab, the students can experiment with Galileiana machines and the Physics in Motion laboratory in Ducati.

During the 3rd and 5th year students also visit external laboratories such as Physics in Motion in Ducati, CERN in Geneva and Old Quantum Physics in the Golinelli Foundation in Bologna.

The study of Natural Sciences – Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy and Astronomical Geography – is planned from the 1st year.
The continuous and systematic use of laboratories allows a gradual acquisition of the traditional research method used for these disciplines.

More classic laboratory activities are complemented by innovative and qualified experiences, such as internships at the Golinelli Foundation’s Science in Practice, held during the 3rd and 5th years.

The laboratory is the privileged place where students are educated to ask questions, question reality and test their hypotheses, also making use of computer tools.

The two main reasons for using the lab are: firstly, to observe a new phenomenon searching for regularities in order to formulate different hypotheses, and secondly, to test the validity of a theory through experiments. These are essential moments in the construction of scientific knowledge. In the laboratory students work in teams, learn to describe nature in a qualitative and quantitative way, and also measure parameters and look for relationships between them
