ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½

The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and its associates offer a comprehensive Master course for students with a Bachelor degree in pharmaceutical sciences. Students with a Bachelor in a related field within the natural or medical sciences are also encouraged to apply.

This course provides basic knowledge focusing on pharmacology and toxicology as well as on the drug discovery and development process. The curriculum was developed by a collaboration of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ in close collaboration with scientists from the Department Biomedicine, the Basel-based life science industry, the Swiss Centre for Applied Human Toxicology and regulatory authorities.

The Master of Science degree requires a successfully completed Bachelor’s program. The MSc Drug Sciences awards 120 ECTS credits in total. The course comprises lectures, seminars, a practical training, as well as a ten months supervised Master’s thesis work. Elective courses complement the program in order to promote individual skills. One ECTS credit point roughly equals 30 hours of studying.

With the qualification of the MSc Drug Sciences, and potentially a subsequent doctorate, you acquire an excellent foundation for a position in industrial or academic research, product development or in a regulatory agency.
