The program is divided into two periods:
• The first half is devoted to theoretical courses and seminars being divided into 7 modules (A to G). The teaching hours in this period are 375 hours (45 credits), each university supporting a third, or 125 hours (15 credits).
• The second period is a personal work (15 credits) that the student will prepare during a 12-week internship (equivalent to 150 hours of theory) made in one or more department(s) of a pharmaceutical industry or a university research laboratory, proposed or approved by the management committee. The student will write a report and present the results to a jury composed of the supervisor and three scientists (one per university).
Each course is taught by a limited number of teachers and scientific collaborators from a university or a pharmaceutical industry. For the courses of the modules A to F and seminars of the module G, teachers and scientific staff are proposed by each university. The distribution is done by the academic members of the Management committee on the basis of a consensus and must respect the principle of equality of charges between universities, both for teaching and for the contribution to the student's personal work.
