Pharmaceutical Chemistry (Bachelor's program)
The Bachelor's program in Pharmaceutical Chemistry leads to the academic degree Bachelor of Science which qualifies graduates for professional employment along the value chain of the "development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products".
The program is practice-oriented with a strong interdisciplinary focus. Through working on scientific problems in laboratory courses as well as on individual research projects with strong practical relevance, students learn to develop innovative solutions in the fields of drug substance and drug product development. In addition to the primarily scientific focus, the program also includes technical, regulatory and business aspects. Students learn to work scientifically on complex problems using a wide range of methods. Throughout the program, students are trained to plan, process and evaluate complex subject specific tasks and problems and independently control processes in various areas of their scientific discipline or their future professional field of activity.
