Medical Pharmaceutical Sciences

The Medical Pharmaceutical Sciences (MPS) Master trains you for a career in the design and use of modern medicines. The training ranges from fundamental research to clinical research and prepares you for a career in academia, industry, policy, and business.
Medical Pharmaceutical Sciences play a key role in challenges that our society faces today. For example, the shortage of medicines challenges the effectiveness of our healthcare system. Another important challenge is the lack of sustainability of our current medicines. Furthermore, outbreaks of infectious diseases, as seen in the recent pandemic, and the increasing average age of our population challenge our healthcare system to the maximum. Scientific and technical progress enables addressing these challenges. If you embark on our master program, you will play a role in resolving these challenges.
Our master programme covers themes such as basic molecular drug discovery, analysis of drugs and biomarkers, pharmacology, toxicology, biopharmacy, clinical pharmacoepidemiology, post-marketing surveillance, policy and business. Our curriculum has been redesigned to increase our focus on sustainability
Our programme is interdisciplinary and covers all disciplines in medicine and pharmacy, from which you choose your own track of specialization. The embedding in an open and stimulating research environment creates opportunit
