Teaching and training



 As actors in the field of health sciences, pharmacists are experts on the subject of medication.

From design to production, from pharmaceutical research to marketing the product, from collating information to distributing it, pharmacy graduates are preparing for employment as pharmacists in a number of professional environments, at each stage of the medication process.

This Master's programme is designed to produce health professionals in such diverse environments as the pharmacy (dispensary) open to the public, the academic world, hospitals or industry. This diversity is based on a solid scientific framework which ultimately seeks to improve patient health.

The training offered by the School of Pharmacy relies on the combined expertise of instructors who are researchers and instructors who are practitioners. It provides students with a number of opportunities to develop their know-how and their ability to master the various roles of the modern pharmacist: laboratories, work placements, research projects and classes are all included in the two years of the Master's programme.

On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
1. Pharmaceutical expertise: display command of and assimilate the knowledge required to formulate a pertinent response to any pharmaceutical question

2. In the preparation and dispensing of medications: act in an appropriate and responsible manner in line with procedures

3. Health advice: offer appropriate advice when dispensing medicine and monitor progress

4. Communication: communicate in a professional manner and tailor the message to suit different audiences

5. Scientific approach: resolve health-related problems by incorporating and analysing, in a critical manner, different scientific approaches

6. Sense of responsibility: act in an ethical and responsible manner
