The University of Pavia has released the call for applications for the two-year Second-Level University Master in Regulatory Sciences “G. Benzi”, established for the 2025–2027 academic cycle and hosted by the Department of Biology and Biotechnology “Lazzaro Spallanzani”. The call for applications and the relevant instructions are available on the University’s website at the page Regulatory Sciences – G. Benzi. Applications may be submitted until 23 January 2026.

The Master offers an advanced training programme addressed to graduates from various disciplinary backgrounds who wish to acquire expertise in the regulatory field related to products intended for human and animal use. The course provides an integrated perspective on the activities that govern the life cycle of regulated products, combining scientific, regulatory, economic and organisational aspects. Regulatory activities encompass the processes required to ensure the quality, safety and efficacy of products such as medicines, medical devices, cosmetics, food supplements and other regulated categories, from their development to post-marketing surveillance.

The programme aims to train professionals capable of applying national, European and international regulations; preparing, organising and evaluating the documentation required in the various regulatory procedures, including registration dossiers; understanding the fundamentals of key quality systems (GMP, GLP, GCP); and contributing to the development of effective regulatory strategies through solid communication and problem-solving skills.

Graduates may pursue career opportunities in a wide range of sectors, including pharmaceutical, biotechnological, cosmetic, food and chemical-pharmaceutical companies, as well as Regulatory Agencies, the Ministry of Health, healthcare organisations, regional authorities and specialised consultancy roles.
