For the single-cycle bachelor's degree program in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology, a new order is planned starting from a.y. 2023/2024.
The order for a.y. 2022/2023 remains valid for those enrolled from the second year onward (Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology - course code 8451 - see Manifesto degli studi 2022/2023).
If you want to register for the first year, go to the new page (Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology - course code 11674). The new 2023/2024 Study Manifesto will be published in May.

Course video
The course in brief
Presentation
The degree program prepares for the profession of pharmaceutical chemist and technologist (CTF) by conferring the appropriate scientific knowledge for the position of expert in industrial drug preparation.
Learning by doing
The scientific and technological preparation of the CTF is supported by extensive experimental practice in laboratories of drug synthesis, analysis and dosage, formulation of pharmaceutical forms and evaluation of drug-biological activities in the preclinical setting. The training can be complemented by the performance of an internship in public/private companies useful for the preparation of the experimental dissertation for the Degree.

The single-cycle master's degree program has programmed access, a duration of five years, and the degree is recognized in all European Union countries (E.C. Directive 85/433/EEC of 9/16/85).
The educational objectives of the Course provide you with multidisciplinary notions fundamental to knowledge:
- of the methodological basis of scientific investigation applied to the world of drugs
- of the understanding of drugs, their structure and activity
- of the interaction of drugs with biomolecules at the cellular and systemic levels
- of drug preparation and control activities
- of national and EU regulations governing the research, production and control activities of industrial production of medicines and major health products
