It aims at providing a scientific basis as well as theoretical and practical competences to work as a pharmacist, i.e. a professional with expertise in drugs and health products in relevant sectors (cosmetics, dietary and nutritional supplements, herbal products, diagnostic and chemical-clinical products, medical devices, sanitary ware, etc.).

The course consists of theoretical and practical classes, including training activities in a local or hospital pharmacy.
Besides specific training classes, the course is enhanced by further medical subjects (e.g. Dermatopharmacology, Internal Medicine and Nutrition Sciences) and regulatory processes (e.g. Italian and European Pharmaceutical Law, Commercial Law).

All subjects are completed with lectures, workshops, e-Learning sessions by national and international experts. Furthermore, meetings at companies or pharmaceutical industries are organised within the framework of supplementary activities. Thanks to an agreement with the University of Nottingham, every year some scholarship calls for internships there are issued.
In this spirit the University adhered to the Erasmus project and examinations can be passed abroad.
