What you will study

A classical Staatsexamen programme defined by the Pharmacists' Licensing Regulations: four semesters of basic studies including an eight-week pharmacy placement (Famulatur), ending with the First Section of the Pharmaceutical Examination, then four semesters of main studies including an elective subject, ending with the Second Section; the practical year takes place outside the university after the Second Section and ends with the Third Section.

Career pathways

The pharmacist's profession offers very varied possibilities and extends well beyond public pharmacies; many pharmacists work in public pharmacies, advising patients on medicines and checking prescriptions, and numerous other career paths combine medicine, science and responsibility.
