Bachelor in Pharmacy [180.0] - FARM1BA

Pharmaceutical Sciences revolve around medication and the people who use it - the sick. From its conception to its production, from the stages of pharmaceutical research to commercialisation and information to dispensation, pharmacists are involved in multiple professional worlds, at each step of the process. Consequently, if dealing with medication is what interests you, Pharmaceutical Sciences will give you the opportunity to devote yourself to that kind of profession within milieux as diversified as those of public dispensaries, universities, hospitals or industry. This diversity relates to scientific, chemical and biological bases, always with the same final goal of improving the patient's health.
 
The bachelor's of Pharmaceutical Sciences enables the student to acquire the skills needed for the practice of the various orientations of pharmaceutics ( research, industry, hospitals, dispensaries, administration and information relating to medication). The course content rotates around two main axes : "Basic Life Sciences" and "Knowledge of Medication". The studies aim to develop the skills needed for the integration of the basic sciences in pharmaceutical contexts.
 
The skills to be acquired can be summed up in four points, as follows: 

1. Integration of the basic sciences (Chemistry, Biology, Physiology, etc.) within the specific domains of pharmaceutical sciences (Pharmacology/Pharmacokinetics, Analytical and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Galenics, etc.).
2. Rigourous administration and control procedures related to the protocol for carrying out experiments (from handling information to dealing with production and the interpretation and presentation of results).
3. Development of a critical mind vis-à-vis the sources of information available.
4. Faculty of adaptation and adequation of comportment within the various branches of pharmaceutical sciences (public dispensaries, hospitals, industry and/or research) thanks to the acquisition of knowledge and capacities common to all the sectors. 

The course content is evaluated in accordance with the prevailing rules and regulations of the University (c.f. exam reglementation). The exams are organised at the end of the course session periods (January, June) as well as in September. The practical work and work experience, if any, take the form of ongoing evaluation.
