The Master’s Degree course in Trade and Consumer Marketing was founded in 2005. It was the first Master in Marketing in Italy and was designed to provide specific training for the development of marketing strategies and commercial policies of manufacturing, retail, and service companies. It stems from the 50-year-old research activity of the Marketing Area at the University of Parma, a well-known “research school” in the field of retail, distribution and channel management.

The Master of Science (M.S.) in Communication Engineering is a two-year graduate course. It aims to provide a thorough grounding in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) while emphasizing a methodological approach to the analysis and design of complex telecommunications systems.

This Master of Science in Electronic Engineering aims to produce graduates with a high level of specialization in the different electronics sectors, and with solid methodological foundations in the wider field of information engineering. Our objective is to help you develop the ability to understand, manage, and promote technological innovation while adapting to the rapid changes typical of high-technology sectors.

Master’s degree in Theory and Methods of Preventive and Adapted Physical Activities is a two-year free access master for 120 ECTs. The aim of the Master is to provide students with knowledge and skills in the field of physical and sports activities. This aim addressed especially to physical and psychological disabilities that influence daily life and social participation.

The Master of Science in Plant Engineering and Food Industry Machines is intended as specific objectives:

The Master of Science in Computer Engineering aims to train a highly qualified professional figure, able to work in the Information and Automation Technologies and in all the application sectors that these technologies enable. The graduate will, therefore, be able, with his solid preparation, to face the challenges of a labour market that will offer important opportunities in the wake of the technological innovation of the information society.

The Master's in Management of Food Systems of Quality and Gastronomy (Food Quality) is part of a process of enhancement of the Italian agri-food industry that recognizes Parma as one of the most important industrial clusters in Italy, known as the “Italian Food valley”.

International Business and Development (IBD) is the first-degree course to be taught and examined entirely in English at the University of Parma, in Italy.

Launching in the 2022/23 academic year, the Master’s Degree in Electronic Engineering for Intelligent Vehicles proposes a cutting-edge educational offer aimed at training engineers who will drive the application of ICT technologies to new-generation vehicles.

The curriculum in Autonomous Driving Engineering (ADE) is part of the Master’s Degree Course in Electronic Engineering for Intelligent Vehicles (EEIV). This curriculum is designed for students who want to become electronic engineers with a solid knowledge of the methods and tools used in the development of intelligent transportation systems.

The Master’s Degree Program in Chemistry offered by the University of Parma provides comprehensive education and training focused on the most modern aspects of chemistry. The courses offered range from classic synthesis & catalysis to more challenging subjects such as environmental sustainability, molecular biology, advanced materials, and nanoscience.

The Master’s Degree in Food Safety and Food Risk Management is a Second Cycle (MSc) Degree Course, fully taught in English, jointly offered by the University of Parma in collaboration with the University of Bologna, Catholic University of Piacenza, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, University of Ferrara.

The Second-cycle Degree in Industrial Chemistry aims both at completing the education and training of the students who have achieved a three-year Degree in Chemistry, and at developing specific skills. Second-level graduates in Industrial Chemistry will possess a deep operational and scientific knowledge related with chemistry and with the process of industrial production, especially concerning the process-product connection and sustainability in the face of available resources and environmental issues.

The mission of the single-cycle Master's Degree Course in Medicine and Surgery is identified with the training of a doctor at an initial professional level with a biomedical-psychosocial culture, who possesses a multidisciplinary and integrated vision of the most common problems of health and disease. The education of the graduate must be oriented towards the community, the territory, and fundamentally towards the prevention of disease as well as towards health promotion, and with a humanistic culture in its medical aspects. This specific mission responds in a more adequate way to the new needs of care and health, as it is centered not only on the disease but above all on the sick person, considered as a whole of soma and psyche and inserted in the social context. The medical training thus oriented is also seen as the first segment of an education that must last over time, and in this perspective the knowledge that the student must acquire in this phase has been calibrated, giving due importance to self-learning, to experiences. not only in hospitals but also in local health facilities, epidemiology, for the development of clinical reasoning and the culture of prevention. The Medical School of the University of Parma has now decided to develop this European and international vocation opening a novel Medicine & Surgery course, entirely held in English, in the nearby city of Piacenza, which offers a hospital system that is not shared with other medical courses but will be uniquely dedicated to the new medical degree.

The Master's Degree in Management Engineering aims to train an engineer able to deal with the systemic problems that characterise the life of companies. The Master's Degree graduate is culturally prepared on the technical-plant and economic-managerial fronts and is capable of managing innovation in products and services. The skills developed through the Master's Degree in Management Engineering range from market analysis from an economic and legal point of view, to the management of new product development projects, business strategy, organisational design, production systems management and quality management.
