them to work in or to run private or public pharmacies in Italy and abroad. In
particular students will acquire specific knowledge regarding the
characteristics and the chemical and pharmacological properties of drugs.
They will become familiar with use and distribution protocols and they will
acquire specific knowledge related to drug distribution and, more generally,
to health information and education, all of which are essential in order to
work in a pharmacy.

2) Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies (CTF): Laurea
Magistrale
Duration: 5 years
Description: students are trained to acquire specific skills which will allow
them both to work in or to run private or public pharmacies in Italy and
abroad, and to work in pharmaceutical industries. The syllabus includes
fundamental subjects in the first two years and more technical and
professional subjects in the next three years. Furthermore, students will be
required to integrate their technical skills with extra courses and/or cultural
initiatives subject to the approval of the Faculty. On this degree course, more
weight is given to the notions of physics, mathematics, and chemistry than in
the classical pharmacy degree, and topics like industrial drug design,
production, distribution and quality control are dealt with extensively.
Professions open to the CTF graduate:
- Chemist
- Chemist Researcher
- Pharmacist
- Researcher and graduate technical Operator
- Technical Operator in quality control

3) Degree in Herbal Sciences and Technology
Duration: 3 years
Description: students are trained to acquire specific skills which will allow
them to work in or to run herbal stores, or to be employed in areas related to
the use of herbs (production, industrial manipulation, packaging, control and
marketing of products based on herbs used for medicines, health and
cosmetics). The course aims to provide students with adequate knowledge
regarding the biological active ingredients contained in herbal medicines, how
these medicines can be used and how they work. Apart from the study of
subjects strictly related to herbal sciences, the course also focuses on
biomedical disciplines and legislation regarding the distribution of herbal
health products. Furthermore, students will be required to integrate their
technical skills with extra courses and/or cultural initiatives subject to the
approval of the Faculty.

Entry test for all first year students
Students enrolling in the first year are required to pass a computerized
entry test. The test includes multiple choice questions on basic
mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology - notions which are recognized
to be a necessary basis for future university classes.
For further details about the entry test procedure see
- http://www.farmacia.unimore.it/offerta/lm/chimica-e-tecnologiefarmaceutiche-d-m-270-04/accoglienza/test-dorientamento-per-le-matricole/

or contact Professor R. Brunetti.
Students who do not pass the entry test by the end of the first semester are
not allowed to sit the maths, physics, chemistry and biology exams.
Students who do not pass the entry test by the end of June 2010 will be
asked to enroll in the first year again.

Italian Test
The Italian test takes place in the Department of Pharmaceutical
Sciences (Via Campi 183, main entrance, 2nd floor, ask the lady in
reception)
Date: 1 september 2009, 15:00
English Language Placement Test
Students who enroll in the first year are required to sit an English
language placement test. The aim of this test is to access the students’
knowledge of the English language in order to divide them into groups
of a homogenous level. The test includes a part taken by all UNIMORE
applicants and a part specifically designed for Pharmacy Faculty
students.
The test is not selective and mandatory. For further information and
registration http://testing.cla.unimo.it/
Italian classes for foreign students
The University of Modena and Reggio Emilia organizes free Italian
language classes for foreign students. Classes are organized by the
“Centro Linguistico di Ateneo” (University Language Centre). Lessons
will be held in the first weeks of September after the Italian test for
foreign students until academic lectures begin.
For those who would like to go on improving their language skills, an
extensive language program is offered during the second semester.
For further information http://www.cla.unimo.it/ns_itamain_enu.php
Specialization in Clinical Pharmacy
Duration: 3 years (open only to graduates in Pharmacy or in CTF -chemistry
and pharmaceutical technologies-)
For specific information about regulations regarding the practice of
pharmaceutical professions after taking an Italian Specialization degree,
students should contact the appropriate authorities in their own country .
