Program description:

Program aims to prepare competitive and highly qualified specialists, who have raised awareness in public health care politics and whose main skills and knowledge are based on thorough knowledge of pharmaceutical disciplines and harmonizing practical work; Equip students with knowledge appropriate for international medical-pharmaceutical standards and provide them with essential skills; Provide students with deep and thorough knowledge of fundamental and profiled subjects and help them acquire the practical skills how to implement their theoretical knowledge; Prepare bachelors in pharmacy with appropriate competences in liberal values, with ability to   upgrade professionally and continue their studies to the next stage of learning and with the ability to be focused on practical activities. They will be able to provide qualified pharmaceutical assistance, to perform pharmaceutical analyses, to lead structural units in pharmaceutical institutions and to continue their studies at the higher level of education.

After completion of the educational program the graduates will gain the knowledge on pharmaceutical raw materials, production, processing, drugs, technology, analysis, standardization, rational pharmacotherapy and pharmaceutical activity. S/he will develop practical skills to implement the core activities of a pharmacist (pharmaceutical care, pharmaceutical and pharmacognostic analysis and use of pharmaceutical technology).  At a later stage s/he will be able to continue learning and will be equipped with the proper values.

After the completion of the program, a graduate:
