Pharmacy

The aim of studying in the doctoral degree program in Pharmacy is in consequence to the obtained undergraduate master's education to significantly deepen the student's education in the field of pharmaceutical sciences, with a narrower profile in accordance with the professional focus of the dissertation. The aim of the study is to develop the student's knowledge and skills, leading to independent creative activity, publication, and presentation of results in scientific journals and professional forums. The study should also develop the student competencies necessary to pass on their knowledge and experience not only to undergraduate students, but also to the professionals and general public in academia. It should also give students the knowledge necessary for industrial application of research. Furthermore, studying the doctoral degree program Pharmacy should significantly develop the ability of the students to work in a team and intercultural communication in international/foreign environment. Last but not least, the study will support the development of critical and analytical thinking based on scientific evidence.

The individual workplaces of the Faculty of Pharmacy cover all aspects of research and development in pharmacy. The studies are therefore realized in all areas of research in the field of pharmacy and includes a wide range of branches from experimental and clinical pharmacology, pharmacognosy, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutical technology, and molecular biology in the field of pharmacy to pharmacoeconomics and social pharmacy.

Interdisciplinary topics are possible and wanted. A close connection exists between the individual laboratories of the departments of faculty, and the workplaces cooperate to solve multidisciplinary problems within their technological capabilities. The individual workplaces of faculty develop international cooperation and allow to benefit students from such contacts.

The faculty organizes joint professional seminars and conferences of doctoral students. Students are motivated by the high professional quality of research in a competitive, yet collaborative and open environment. The performance of individual students is valued both financially and also, for example, in the form of participation in prestigious foreign conferences.

Graduates of the doctoral degree program Pharmacy can find the employement in academic and research institutions as academic, research, and development workers, as well as in management positions in the application sphere, which require the ability to independently perform highly specialized activities and a broad overview of the field (e.g., managerial positions in the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare facilities, regulatory authorities).

If a graduate of a doctoral study program did not complete a master's degree in the field of Pharmacy during his undergraduate studies, completion of the doctoral study program entitles him only to scientific work in the completed doctoral field, not to the practical performance of the regulated healthcare profession of pharmacist.
