Interdisciplinary research profile
Several of our research groups are interdisciplinary and transcend section, department and faculty divisions.
We cooperate on research with a number of environments both nationally and internationally. We collaborate with other academic institutions, regional health authorities and the pharmaceutical industry.
Pharmacy study programmes and courses
Each year some 50-60 students complete the five-year, integrated Master's of Pharmacy degree. We educate graduates for the pharmaceutical industry, research, public administration and academia. The education also qualifies the graduate to apply for certification as a dispensing pharmacist, and it provides the opportunity to seek employment as a chemist.
We are the only educational institution in Norway to offer a Master's degree programme in clinical pharmacy. This is a continuing educational programme for pharmacists. The work of clinical pharmacists includes optimizing pharmaceutical treatment for individual patients in order to achieve a rational and safe use of pharmaceuticals.
We also offer further education and continuing studies of shorter terms of duration.
