Syllabus
Course Objectives
The learning outcomes are to provide: 1) the theoretical and methodological competencies related to the formulation and development of micro and nanosystems; 2) the theoretical and methodological competences related to the development of biotechnological products; 3) an overview of medical devices; 4) an overview of the medicinal products for veterinary use considering the need to develop species-specific dosage forms, in the light of anatomical and physiological differences that may affect the bioavailability of drugs in different species.
Through the course, the student will acquire theoretical and practical skills that will allow him to face the exercise of the profession with complete mastery of the subject.

Course Prerequisites
Pass the exam of Pharmaceutical Technology and Legislation (Prerequisites of the Teaching Regulations) and Pharmaceutical Technology and Medicines Regulation. Basic knowledge of pharmaceutical technology, especially for solid and liquid pharmaceutical forms. Knowledge of the basic concepts of biopharmaceuticals is required, the routes of administration, the factors that influence the absorption of drugs and the influence of the pharmaceutical form on the biological effect.
Teaching Methods
Lectures and seminars led by external experts whose attendance is strongly recommended. The teaching materials presented during the seminars, as well as those presented during the teacher’s lectures, will be assessed during the exam. For students with specific needs, who cannot attend in person the teaching activities and who have applied for Inclusive Teaching Methods, the professor will provide teaching material suitable for independent study. If requested, self-learning can be supported by supplementary teaching activities and dedicated meetings, also online, with flexible hours depending on the needs.
Assessment Methods
Learning assessment is performed in the form of written test at the end of the course or during the exam sessions. The exam includes open-ended and/or multiple-choice questions. The weight of the individual questions in the overall assessment is variable and is detailed in each test. The duration of the test is 2 hours. The results of the tests will be made known through esse3. Appropriate exam modalities are provided for students falling within the categories of Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) and Special Educational Needs (SEN).
