Pharmaceutical Sciences

Pharmaceutical science includes several different courses but all have a strong focus on medical drugs. The courses are aimed at those who want to learn more about the drug's mechanisms of action, effects and how they are used by patients and in society. There are also courses on how the human body and cells function, how drugs are transported to their place of action, how they are metabolised and eliminated, and on risk assessment and safety evaluation of drugs.
At the advanced level, the courses are more specialised, more research-oriented and vocational. For example, courses are offered on how new drugs are tested, clinical pharmacy practices, how drugs work in the elderly and pregnant, how addictions arise, about veterinary drugs, and methodological courses on molecular receptor and enzyme processes and on biostatistic models for drug development.
More courses within the pharmaceutical field can be found under Drug Management and Drug Discovery and Development.
