Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry-Doctorate Program

General Information about the Program

Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry; It is responsible for providing information on the design, synthesis, analysis of new therapeutic compounds, making these compounds useful drugs, establishing qualitative and quantitative relationships between the chemical structures of drugs and their activity, and the chemical aspect of their behavior during the phases from the intake of the drug to its excretion. The main educational philosophy of the department is to provide a sound vocational education that is compatible with the latest scientific and technological knowledge supported by the laboratory applications of Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

Career Opportunities

The doctorate (Ph.D.) degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry offers many career opportunities. Graduates can work in the pharmaceutical industry, government departments, universities, hospitals and research institutes.

Why international students should choose your department to study?

Medicinal/pharmaceutical chemistry is an interdisciplinary field that involves the identification, synthesis and development of therapeutics beside its study of existing drugs. Students are trained in the chemistry of organic compounds; their synthesis, reactivity, physicochemical properties and their interactions with biological systems. Experience in interpreting spectroscopic data is also provided.
