Pharmaceutical Science is an interdisciplinary study program that covers a broad variety of topics involved in the development and testing of medicinal products. This will give students an insight into pharmaceutical research that combines aspects of different natural sciences - mainly chemistry, biology and physics – with medicinal topics. Specific subjects of this program include drug discovery and development, testing therapeutic compositions/formulations, investigating drug release systems, and determination of drug effects. Throughout this program, students learn to deal with complex and current interdisciplinary problems of pharmaceutical drug discovery and development by using scientific methods. The course of study will provide the students with the necessary knowledge, capabilities, and methodology to engage in scientific work and to critically assess scientific findings in an independent and responsible way.

Career Opportunities The master’s program will provide graduates with deepened scientific knowledge and skills, thus laying the foundation for a career in pharmaceutical research and preparing them for further studies such as a PhD thesis.
