Course overview
This program is designed for graduates in chemistry, biochemistry or closely related disciplines who wish to contribute to drug development 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 pharmaceutical chemistry program is more involved in the pharmaceutical industry and research aspects than a traditional pharmacist's customer service and patient care responsibilities. The studies will provide professional skills to work in industrial companies that develop, produce, investigate, and/or supply pharmaceutical products or research institutes or continue their studies in doctoral programs of chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology or medical sciences.
