The cost is €4,500 per year, for a total of €9,000. The page indicates September 2024 - September 2026 as the period: the edition is therefore almost over. Credits are not stated. The concrete organisation of lessons, laboratories and assessments is defined by the regulations and the teaching calendar, which the university communicates to admitted candidates. Any aspects not indicated on the page, such as credits, venues or teaching staff, should be clarified with the secretariat.

The aim is to prepare for roles in research, the pharmaceutical industry, the cosmetic sector and international healthcare settings. Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available for qualified candidates, or self-funding. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Before applying it is advisable to compare this information with that published on the university's official website, which may be more up to date than the page. It is also advisable to contact the department's teaching office to clarify any doubts about attendance, lesson calendar, assessment methods and organisation of the final exam. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments. It may also be useful to ask whether information sessions or orientation days are held, in which lecturers present the course and answer candidates' questions. Finally, it is advisable to check the application deadlines and the documents to attach, because enrolment deadlines may be short and vary from one academic year to the next.
