Single-cycle master
LM-13 - Pharmacy and industrial pharmacy
The Master Course in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology aims to train students in chemical, pharmacological, technological and regulatory fields useful to work in positions of responsibility and coordination, in all sectors directly or indirectly connected to the design, development, production, control and marketing of medicinal products and health care ones. The course also provides preparation for the profession of pharmacist in local and hospital settings and for medical information (REP). Thanks to multidisciplinary skills, the course aims to train professionals able to satisfy the needs of the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, medical devices and food supplements industry, as well as the needs of public and private institutions involved in research and regulation of the sanitary area.
Graduates in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology possess the scientific and theoretical expertise to operate as experts in the field of drug and healthy products (foods for special medical purposes and special diets, cosmetics, herbal, diagnostic, medical devices, etc.) and in related fields and to take on the professional role of pharmacist.
The Master Course in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology trains to develop multiple professional activities:
- synthesis, pharmaceutical development, manufacturing and control of medicines in industry;
- quality control of medicines in public or private laboratories;
- production and control of biocides, medical devices and medical-surgical aids;
- formulation, production and quality control of dietetic food products;
- formulation, production and quality control of cosmetic products;
- analysis and control of the physical-chemical and hygienic characteristics of mineral waters;
- storage, conservation and distribution of medicines in the wholesale phase;
- preparation, control, storage and distribution of medicines in pharmacies open to the public or in hospital pharmacies.
- Dissemination of information and advice in the health products sector.
With the achievement of the master's degree and the relative professional qualification, the graduate in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology can carry out the profession of pharmacist, according to the law 2005/36/EC. Thanks to the strong chemical-technological-pharmaceutical characterization, The master's degree course in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology guarantees concrete employment prospects in the sector of chemical-pharmaceutical, technological-pharmaceutical, pharmacological and biotechnological research, both public and private, as well as in the sectors of development, production and quality control in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries.
The course trains students for the following professions:
- Medicinal Chemists
- Chemistry and pharmaceutical Company representatives
- Pharmacologists
- Pharmacists
- Researchers and technicians with degrees in chemical and pharmaceutical sciences
- Researchers and technicians with degrees in biological sciences
