Third cycle education
A doctoral education at the Department of Medicinal Chemistry comprises four years of full-time studies earning you a degree in pharmacy. You can also receive a pharmacy licentiate degree after two years of studies. It provides you the knowledge and skills to conduct independent research, a deep understanding of the subject area, and the ability to teach others.

Your doctoral education includes a number of courses and a dissertation where you conduct an individual research project with the aim to generate new knowledge in a scientific field.
With a pharmacy degree from Uppsala University, you have very good conditions to achieve a successful career within industry, healthcare and authorities. You who choose to stay in academia are ready to take on complex tasks within the framework of an independent research role.
