Master of Pharmacy in Pharmaceutical Chemistry

Program Description

Master's Degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry is a 2-year postgraduate programme provides insight of computational aided drug design & development, retrosynthesis and modern tools for analysis of drugs and its formulations which helps to understand the effect of medicines on the human body, minimise time and cost and make medicine reproducible, reliable and of assured good quality. This programme opens up a lot of career options in pharmaceutical companies, research institutions and hospital pharmacy. Students can possess their career as medicinal chemist/scientist in drug design & development, medical/scientific writer, quality control & quality assurance analyst and as hospital pharmacist.

Program Outcomes

After completion of two years’ graduation programme student will exhibit the following:

PO1. Apply the advance & recent knowledge acquired through experiential learning of pharmaceutical sciences to create newer technology and skills of drug development, clinical evaluation & regulation.

PO2. Able to plan the research methodologies, optimize the experimental techniques and resources to make evidence based recommendations.

PO3. Able to identify gaps in drug therapy and analyzing it critically for innovative drug development.

PO4. Develop the research capability to design patient specific and targeted drug therapy.

PO5. Demonstrate the skills to lead interdisciplinary team and collaborate to implement patient centred healthcare.

PO6. Applying the knowledge of ethical practices and human values as professional pharmacist in hospital, industrial or institutional setups.

PO7. Able to deliver successful demonstrations, documentation, advice, and counselling by effectively & empathetically communicating to pharmaceutical community and society.

PO8. Demonstrate the ability to identify ethical issues & resolving the conflicts with sound decisions & human values.

PO9. Able to learn, select, apply and create advance techniques like high throughput screening, computational modelling, bioinformatics (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics) for drug design & optimization.

PO10. Understand and apply the principal of environment protection and sustainability in pharmaceutical production, and drug disposal.

PO11. Understand the need to enhance the knowledge & skills to engage in life long learnings and applying it for advanced pharma therapy.

Program Specific Outcomes
