About department
Pharmacy
Pharmacy is a healthcare profession that focuses on the safe and effective use of medications. Pharmacists are trained to understand the properties and actions of drugs, as well as their potential interactions with other substances and with the human body. They use this knowledge to dispense medications to patients, provide advice on the proper use of medications, and monitor the effects of medications on patients.
A graduate pharmacist is prepared for a wide range of professional activities in academia and the pharmaceutical industry, including research, development, and production of medications, as well as regulatory, managerial, and advisory roles. They may work in pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, research institutes, or other organizations involved in the development and distribution of medications. They may also be involved in the production of other healthcare products, such as medical devices, dietary supplements, and personal care products.
Programs
Diploma specialist program
The “Pharmacy” is a five-year diploma specialist program that prepares students for a career as a pharmacist. Upon graduation, students are qualified to work in a variety of settings, including pharmacies, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies. They may also choose to continue their education through internship or postgraduate studies, which can lead to advanced practice roles or research opportunities.
Postgraduate study
The department offers a four-year postgraduate program in Organic Chemistry (1.4.3, Russian sector). This program is designed for students who have already completed a master's or diploma specialist’s degree in chemistry or a related field and are interested in continuing their education at the graduate level. The program focuses on advanced topics in organic chemistry, such as chemical synthesis, spectroscopy, and chemical reactions. Students who complete a postgraduate program in Organic Chemistry may be well-prepared for careers in academia, research, or industry, where they may work as scientists, researchers, or professionals in a variety of fields that involve the use of organic chemistry principles.
