After the gained experience, this obligation was extended in 1772 by the voluntary completion of the three-month course before the exam itself and subsequently in 1774 this course became compulsory. A year later the compulsory course was extended to one year. On the territory of Slovakia, this form of training of pharmacists was very short, as Trnava University was moved to Buda and then to Pest in 1777. In these conditions, again outside Slovakia, there were several reforms that led to the extension of the university studies to two years in 1851, while the four-year thyroid practice in the pharmacies and the subsequent thyroid exam remained preserved. Over the next few years, the study was further improved. In 1851, pharmacists were offered the opportunity to obtain a doctorate in chemistry and in 1861 a doctorate in pharmacy. The last reform regulations within Hungary were adopted in 1912: before the two-year thyroid practice in the pharmacy was already required a high school education with a school-leaving certificate and after the promotion two more so called conditioning years in a pharmacy environment. Only then was a pharmacist capable of doing his / her own work. Two years later, education was reformed by extending its study program with other theoretical and practical subjects. In this form, at a level comparable to a study of pharmacy in developed European countries, students from Slovakia could have completed their education for four years, until the dissolution of Austria-Hungary. The emergence of Czechoslovakia brought a completely new situation: the only option for future pharmacists from Slovakia was the education at the Charles University in Prague.
