The Bachelor's Degree Program in Food Science and Technology aims to train professionals with a solid foundational knowledge and practical skills in key areas of the food sector, equipping them with both theoretical and hands-on preparation to enter the workforce. Graduates acquire cross-disciplinary competencies covering all stages of the food supply chain, from production to trade and consumption, with a strong focus on safety, quality, and bioethics.

A degree in Food Science and Technology also provides an excellent opportunity to pursue further studies, granting access to Master's Degree Programs, particularly within the LM-70 class, or an international Master of Science, which is an essential requirement for registration with the Order of Food Technologists.

The program's excellence is reflected in a highly favorable student-to-faculty ratio, a dynamic research environment that enhances teaching, and numerous collaborations with national and international institutions.

Studying Food Science and Technology in Parma means embarking on a journey that goes beyond lectures and exams: hands-on laboratory activities, seminars, and meetings with leading companies in the sector provide direct engagement with the professional world.

And this is only natural in a region like the Food Valley, a symbol of Italian excellence in the agri-food sector, where tradition and innovation coexist thanks to an outstanding industrial network, spanning both traditional and cutting-edge industries.
 

It is worth attending the degree course in Gastronomic Science if you love, with food, the land and its culture; if you want to defend the traditions of our land, crystallised in food, in dishes, in techniques for processing raw materials; if you want to express your potential by studying, and often discovering, the excellence of our regions, which are increasingly becoming a vehicle for Italian spirit and love of life around the world.

The vocationally oriented degree course in 'Quality and Procurement of Raw Materials for Agri-Food' aims at training food graduates with a strong vocational orientation, experts in the evaluation, selection and procurement of raw materials for industry, catering and large-scale retail trade, who are able to guide the choices of actors in the food chain towards products suitable for use/processing. This professional figure will therefore represent the link between producers (agricultural sector) and other stakeholders in the supply chain, including consumers.

The didactic headquarters of the degree course is in Salsomaggiore Terme (PR) at Palazzo Tommasini. 

The main objective of the Single-cycle Degree Course in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology is to provide the graduate with the scientific basis and the theoretical and practical preparation necessary to work primarily as an expert in pharmaceuticals and health products in the relevant industry sectors and to exercise the profession of pharmacist or chemist after passing the relevant state examination.
