Practical-Evaluative Test (PPV)

Practical-Evaluative Test (PPV) for students enrolled in the qualifying course  

The practical-evaluative test (PPV) aims to verify the professional skills acquired with the practical-evaluative internship (TPV) and to guarantee your level of technical preparation for the qualification to practice the profession. You will therefore have to carry out the PPV at the end of the internship period and before the discussion of the degree thesis, on the appropriate dates identified for each degree session.

Only by obtaining the assessment of suitability for the PPV you will be able to access the discussion of the degree thesis.

- two university professors of disciplines in characterizing sectors (CHIM/08, CHIM/09, BIO/14), of which one identified as President;

- two members of the Order of Pharmacists of the local area in which the study course is located.
