Program Description

This Master in Pharmaceutical Chemistry is designed for graduates of Chemistry, Biochemistry or a closely related discipline who wish to contribute to the development of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. The study areas include research methods, pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism, drug design and drug synthesis, spectroscopy and structural analysis, and research training projects. Some courses will cover the key techniques in analytical chemistry used to support the pharmaceutical sciences.

The Master in Pharmaceutical Chemistry is more involved with the pharmaceutical industry and research aspects than with a traditional pharmacist’s customer service and patient care responsibilities. The studies will provide a graduate with the professional skills to work in industrial companies that develop, produce, investigate and/or supply pharmaceutical products, or in research institutes, or to continue their studies in doctoral programs in the fields of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology or Medical Sciences.
