Why in Parma?
The second-cycle degree in Pharmacy is the right choice if you wish to work as a pharmacist.

The Pharmacy degree at our University has more than 200 years of history, which have contributed to the quality of research and teaching in this field. The course offers students educational experiences abroad, and numerous students come to Parma from all corners of Italy every year.
