What you will study

The Master's programme in Pharmaceutical Sciences delves deeper into research-related aspects and is particularly aimed at graduates who are enthusiastic about scientific issues and laboratory work. Those aspiring to a career in research will find the ideal conditions for specialisation here, with a choice of two profile lines.

Career pathways

The programme opens up many career fields for students, as they are introduced to everyday working life, qualifications and practical experience during their studies. Successful completion of the programme qualifies graduates for a career in scientific research (and thus for a doctorate) as well as for specialisation in the pharmaceutical industry; however, it does not lead to licensure as a pharmacist.
