The aim of the program is to provide postgraduate education in the fields of Pharmaceutical Technology, Biopharmaceutics, Pharmacokinetics and Quality Assurance / Quality by Design. It is highly relevant to scientists who are interested in working at production, quality control or research and development departments in the pharmaceutical Industry or they wish to pursue a PhD degree in relevant fields. The program has a duration of eighteen months, i.e. of three academic semesters. The first semester starts in October of each academic year.
Applicants must have a degree in Pharmacy, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Material Sciences from a Greek University or an equivalent degree from abroad. In the latter case, confirmation of degree equivalence by the Hellenic Academic Recognition Information Center (NARIC, ΔΟΑΤΑΠ) is required. Students are selected according to their graduation degree, undergraduate thesis, existence of additional degrees, peer reviewed publications, attendance of seminars/workshops relevant to the field of Industrial Pharmacy, working experience in the field of Industrial Pharmacy, and an interview hosted by members of the steering committee.
