Undergraduate Curriculum Guide Pharmaceutical Science

　　School: School of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology

　　Duration: Four Years

　　Degree: Bachelor of Science

　　Language: English

　　Educational Outcomes

　　This program is taught in English and offers top instruction from world-class international research scholars. The newly renovated multidisciplinary teaching laboratories are outfitted at the highest international standard. The program is based on learning by doing, peer to peer mentoring and discovery-enriched experiences. Our school makes this major available to talented students endowed with all-round intellectual, mental, physical and even artistic abilities, that are able to respond to the challenges of socialist modernization. Candidates are expected to have a good mastery of the basic theory and skills of pharmaceutical sciences. In addition to the width of their knowledge and qualifications, they have an acute sense of social responsibility, an international outlook, an innovative spirit, and a practical mind.

　　We encourage the students, upon their graduation, to either further their studies abroad, or pursue Master's and Doctor's Degrees at our university or other institutions. We may also recommend them for positions in drug research, in the development and manufacture of pharmaceuticals and biotechnological products, or in pharmaceutical administration and inspection.

　　Curriculum Statement

　　Education of SPST

　　SPST aims to educate, train, and provide life-long learning opportunities for students, pharmacy professionals, scientists, academicians, engineers, or administrators as leaders in pharmaceutical sciences, social and administrative sciences, while engaging in research and practice to improve the health and well-being of people.

　　B.S. Training Program

　　SPST will provide students interested in pharmaceutical sciences that relate to medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics, pharmacognosy, pharmacology, pharmaceutical analysis, biochemistry, pharmaceutical administration, etc. with classroom and experiential education that spans the pharmaceutical sciences and liberal arts. Training received in the integrated pharmacy program will give students experience with cutting edge technology so that they will be competitive in drug discovery, development, and commercialization.

　　Core Concepts

　　In order to fulfill the above research and training mission, the courses taught at SPST will teach students the following core concepts:

　　• Critical thinking

　　• Problem solving

　　• Pharmaceutical science as a multidisciplinary field integrating fundamental principles from many basic disciplines (chemistry, biology, math, physics, computer science, economics). All disciplines should be taught primarily from an explicit pharmacy perspective.

　　• Best practices in laboratory safety and record keeping

　　• Data analysis and interpretation

　　• Scientific ethics

　　• Social responsibility

　　• Communication skills, both oral and written (in scientific English)

　　• The innovative and responsible conduct of pharmaceutical research
