Learning Objectives
Themes
The Single-Cycle Master’s Degree Course in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology (CTF) lasts five years and aims to train highly qualified professionals capable of working in industrial settings or public and private research centers. Graduates are prepared to operate in sectors related directly or indirectly to the design, synthesis, biological evaluation, development, quality control, and marketing of medicines and health-related products. According to Law No. 163 of 8 November 2021, passing the final exam also qualifies graduates to practice as pharmacists.
The degree program also allows access, subject to obtaining sufficient credits in the relevant disciplinary areas and in accordance with current legislation, to teacher training pathways for secondary education. Moreover, it provides the knowledge and skills necessary to undertake further studies in second-level Master’s programs, Specialization Schools, and PhD courses, thus enhancing both academic and professional development opportunities.
The training includes foundational subjects in chemistry, physics and mathematics, biology, medicine, and morphology, alongside advanced knowledge in core areas such as pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutical technology, pharmacology, and biology. The course features extensive practical laboratory work and requires the completion of an experimental thesis, which plays a central role in the training of students, particularly in preparing them for work in pharmaceutical research and development.
The program also includes a six-month professional internship (TPV), amounting to 900 hours and 30 ECTS credits, to be carried out in a community or hospital pharmacy under the supervision of a professional pharmacist tutor. Students also have the opportunity to carry out part of their studies abroad—this includes both the experimental thesis and part of the internship—at partner universities, research centers, or affiliated pharmacies, promoting international experience and academic enrichment.

Contents and structure of the course / Syllabus
Activities of PhD Students
The degree program consists of 300 ECTS and is designed to be completed in 5 years. However, a part-time study option over 10 years is also available for students who are not able to attend full-time.
The curriculum includes foundational courses in chemistry, physics and mathematics, biology, medicine and morphology, along with advanced training in key areas such as pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutical technology, biochemistry, and pharmacology.
To ensure a well-rounded professional education, students can also take elective or complementary courses, allowing them to specialize in specific areas of interest.
The program places a strong emphasis on practical laboratory training, particularly in chemical and pharmaceutical technology. To graduate, students must complete an experimental thesis and take part in a six-month professional internship (TPV) at a community or hospital pharmacy.
