Five-year degree program (“laurea magistrale”) in Pharmacy
______________________________________________________________________________________
Presentation
Effective academic year 2001-2002, the program of studies for the undergraduate degree in
Pharmacy was converted into a five-year graduate degree called the “corso di laurea magistrale”.
[The Italian system has a three-year undergraduate degree, the “laurea triennale” and a two-year
graduate degree, the “laurea magistrale.” In the case of Pharmacy, there is a single course of
studies, lasting five years, which leads to this graduate degree.] Students wishing to enrol in this
degree program must have a high school degree according to current regulations.
Transfer students from other degree programs (diploma, undergraduate degree or graduate
degree) of the same university or other universities will be enrolled in the “laurea magistrale,” the
five-year degree program.
Students already enrolled may opt for the reformed degree program.
Objectives
The five-year degree program in Pharmacy provides the essential formation for the profession
of pharmacist and advanced scientific preparation as drug and over-the-counter-drug expert. The
objective of the course is to prepare an expert who serves as the essential connection among
patients, physicians, and public health structures (Pharmaceutical care), offering patients
information in the correct use of medicines. The type of formation offered by the University of
Camerino also enables students to acquire expertise in the correct use of drugs in hospitals and
public health structures.
Occupational opportunities
Almost all the positions that can be filled by graduates in the Pharmacy program require
membership in the professional register, which is obtained upon passing the National Boards for
the licence to practice the profession of pharmacist.
Most graduates of the degree program in Pharmacy work at private and public (city or hospital)
pharmacies. Other job options include positions in analysis and synthesis laboratories in private
firms and public and private laboratories. Degree holders in Pharmacy can be hired by local
components of the national healthcare system (A.S.L.) and by various government and paragovernment administrations, as drug experts in chemical-pharmaceutical, pharmacological,
technical, legislative and quality control fields. They may also find work as pharmaceutical
representatives.
Admission requirements
While the knowledge necessary to pass the national high school exit examination is deemed
necessary and sufficient, admission to the degree program in Pharmacy also requires an entrance
test to identify any lacunae in the student’s preparation and direct him or her to the appropriate
university-provided integration courses and tutoring services to resolve the deficits.
The integration courses are held before the beginning of lessons, while the tutoring courses are
held in pre-established periods during the academic year. The schedule is published at Faculty
President’s Secretariat (Segreteria di Presidenza della Facoltà) and at the Student Registrar
(Segreterie Studenti).
Curriculum
Students earn the five-year degree in Pharmacy after passing 22 exams and earning 300
credits (CFU), as indicated below:

Certificates of attendance for theory courses can be provided to students who have regularly
attended the courses or who have carried out supplementary work in agreement with the teacher
of the course.
Instead, attendance is obligatory for the courses requiring individual laboratory practice
(deliberation C.C.L. n. 159 of 14.9.1998).
Courses requiring individual laboratory practice are also available in the summer, for
students who were not able to attend them regularly during the first or second
semesters. First priority in admission to these summer courses will be given to working
students. Students must pay a fee for the expenses involved in activating the courses.
Attendance is obligatory for academic activities that do not have normal examinations, but tests in
itinere.
Registration, passages and transfers to the reformed Course will not be accepted if presented or
received after November 5, 2009.
The order in which courses should be followed
The Faculty Council has established the following order in which courses should be followed.
Attendance and examinations for multi-year courses must respect the priority indicated by the
number assigned the course.
Students are not allowed to take examinations for the disciplines listed in column A until they
have passed the examinations listed in column B.

Teachers will ascertain that students observe the correct order in attending courses and
taking examinations.
Students may take the exams of the third year program only after having passed all the exams of
the first year program.
Teachers will ascertain that students have passed all their first year examinations before allowing
them to take third year examinations.
The Faculty Council defines the curriculum in terms of the order in which courses and their
examinations should be taken. In addition, for reasons related to didactics, the Council may adopt
intensive courses, organized in distinct cycles and with final examinations of the individual
disciplines taught in the course of the academic year of registration.
Students whose attendance is in good order will take the examinations that assess their
mastery of the material taught in a didactic period, at the examination session concluding that
period, or in the subsequent sessions, as established in the Faculty Council calendar.
In the case of contextual assessments of mastery (integrated examinations), the Faculty
Dean forms the examination commissions, nominating the teachers of the courses according to
the current regulations.
Students who so request will be registered for a repeat-year, with the following limitations:
a) not more than once in the same year underway;
b) not more than twice in the degree program underway;
All the other Didactic Regulations of the University for registration remain in force for repeatyear registration as well.
Students who fail to advance in their degree in the time prescribed will be registered as
“fuori corso”. In particular, this category applies to:
a) students who are registered and have attended all the lessons required for the entire
year of studies, until they earn their academic degree;
b) students registered for a year of their program of studies, and who have obtained the
necessary requisites to register for the subsequent year, but have not requested and obtained this
registration.
In order to be allowed to take the graduation examination, the student must have earned
255 credits for the various academic activities (obligatory and elective).
In addition, the student must have completed a six-month full time (6 hours a day)
professional apprenticeship (pharmaceutical practice) for a minimum of 36 hours a week and for a
total period of at least 6 months. This apprenticeship should take place during the fourth or fifth
year of studies, or as a “fuori corso” student, at a pharmacy open to the public or a hospital
pharmacy, in Italy. It should be completed in no longer than 9 month’s time.

In addition, the student must prepare a thesis on a subject agreed upon with a teacher of
the Faculty.
Knowledge of scientific English will be verified by a pass/fail test.
Computer Science proficiency is not measured by a conventional examination; the
student’s competency will be assessed by tests in itinere.
Elective activities do not require conventional examinations. The student’s mastery of the subject will be
assessed by tests in itinere.
The graduation examination entails the presentation and defense of an experimental thesis or a
research paper on a subject agreed upon with a teacher of the Faculty, save in cases in which the Faculty
Council authorizes an exception. For the experimental thesis, the student must be present in a scientific
laboratory, preferably of the Faculty, for at least six months.
Students registered in the five-year degree program are subject to the laws and regulations regarding
university students, for any eventualities not specified in this document.
