Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry- Master’s Program

General Information about the Program

The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry provides knowledge on topics such as design, synthesis and analysis of novel therapeutic compounds to obtain useful drugs, the construction of qualitative and quantitative relationships between chemical structures of drugs and their activities, chemical aspects of drug behaviour during the phases from the administration of drugs into the body to their excretion, etc. The principal education philosophy of the department has been to provide a sound professional training which has been consistent with the current scientific and technological developments, with the support of practice in laboratory applications in Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

Career Opportunities

The Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry offers various 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.
