Master of Pharmacy in Pharmacology

Program Description

A Master's Degree in Pharmacology is a 2-year postgraduate programme that provides knowledge on mechanistic effect of drug on various organ receptors and drug-drug interactions. During the course, students understand the development process of new drug molecules, its toxicological, preclinical & clinical evaluations. After acquiring the research skills in clinical drug development, students can possess their carreer as medical/scientific writer, preclinical/clinical research scientist, drug therapeutic monitoring scientist, clinical pharmacologist and 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

PSO1. Graduates will acquire advance knowledge in drug-receptor interaction, mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics on cellular system including regulatory guidelines related to toxicology and therapeutics.

PSO2. Graduates will demonstrate skill in drug discovery and characterization of chemicals that show cellular and biological effects including oncology, diabetology, virology, FIB, drug abuse, cardiovascular and cell line-based molecular research.

PSO3. Graduate will able do research in cellular, molecular, toxicological & clinical based drug discovery and update the knowledge through higher education.
