Second-Level Master in Pharmacy Services

The Second-Level Master in Pharmacy Services is offered by the University of Brescia, in collaboration with ASST Spedali Civili of Brescia. It covers the pharmacology of acute and chronic conditions relevant to the Italian National Health Service and the clinical and managerial skills of the modern pharmacy, with asynchronous lessons, in-person workshops and an internship at affiliated facilities. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The master lasts 12 months, from March 2026 to March 2027, and is therefore already under way; the page cites both March and April 2026 as the start. The format is blended, online with in-person workshops and internship in Brescia. The cost is €3,016. The internship is compulsory, with a minimum attendance of 75%.

The aim is to train competent and versatile professionals for the social-healthcare and managerial functions of community pharmacy. Career outcomes include oncology pharmacist, pharmaceutical consultant, pharmaceutical market analyst, pharmacoeconomics expert and product manager. 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. 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.
