Pharmaceutical Science is an interdisciplinary science that covers a broad variety of topics including research, development, production, testing and use of medicines, their characterisation and their effects in drug therapy. Pharmaceutical Science combines aspects of different natural sciences - mainly chemistry, biology and physics – with topics of medicine and therapy. Specific subjects of this program include drug discovery and development, testing therapeutic compositions/formulations, investigating drug release systems, determination of drug effects and their monitoring/modelling in patients.
Throughout this program, students learn to deal with complex and current interdisciplinary problems of pharmaceutical drug discovery and development as well as therapeutic use of medicines by employing scientific methods.
