The Pharmaceutical Chemistry

Program Overview

The Master's program in Pharmaceutical Chemistry aims to train highlycompetentgraduates in the design, analysis, and manufacturing of drugs. It combines coreknowledge of organic and inorganicchemistrywithadvanced applications in spectroscopy, chromatography, and biopharmacy. The program focuses on asymmetricsynthesisstrategies, naturalproductchemistry, and galenicalpharmacy. A distinctive featureis the integration of innovative modules in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Drug Design and molecular modeling, alongwithmetrology and entrepreneurship, preparingstudents for R&D in the pharmaceuticalindustry or doctoral studies.
