The Master's degree in Pharmacy aims to give students a theoretical and practical training in the fields of biology, microbiology, physiology, biochemistry and biomedicine, chemistry and pharmacy, pharmacology and toxicology, pharmaceutical technology, legislation and professional ethics. This will enable students to practise as pharmacists and hold high-profile positions related to pharmaceutical, diagnostics and health products. The Master's degree in Pharmacy provides students with cutting-edge scientific expertise in the health sector, to prepare future pharmaceutical experts and train them in the therapeutic use of drugs. These experts should contribute to reaching the goals set by the Italian Health Service to meet the changing healthcare needs of our society. Graduate pharmacists will be able to operate in accordance with the objectives of public health, advising healthy customers for prevention purposes and providing tailored assistance to chronic and non-chronic patients to encourage adherence to pharmacological therapies.

In order to reach the above-mentioned goals, the Master's degree in Pharmacy will provide students with:
a) a robust knowledge of the main scientific subjects (physics, chemistry, biology, microbiology, medicine), enabling them to adopt a scientific approach to solve problems related to the profession of pharmacist;
b) an in-depth understanding of the composition of drugs, as well as their chemical, pharmaceutical and technological features, therapeutic efficacy, contra-indications and use, applicable legislation and any other guidelines on the matter;
c) the ability to apply the acquired knowledge to the dosage of drugs, their identification with purity tests and the preparation of compounds;
d) adequate knowledge of biochemistry, physiology, pathology, endocrinology and nutrition, to help prevent diseases and support the patient's compliance with the medical treatment;
e) adequate knowledge of pharmacogenetics, pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacovigilance, telehealth and any other aspect contributing to patient-tailored pharmacological therapies, which are becoming increasingly important for a correct use of medicines;
f) adequate medical knowledge with regard to patient's anamnesis, first-instance tests, screening and prevention campaigns and other services offered by pharmacies, which are becoming truly multifunctional in order to respond to the growing healthcare needs of our society, in line with the new concept of 'Pharmacy of Services';
g) knowledge of the legal and ethical aspects and responsibilities related to the job, to practise the profession and protect citizens' health;
h) knowledge of the fundamentals of economics, management and communication applied to the health sector, and particularly the pharmaceutical sector;
