Summary of the Profile
General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To provide knowledge and competences of drug design, development and determination of practical significance and to develop research skills required to work in high-tech research centers and industrial companies that develop, manufacture or supply pharmaceuticals.
Learning outcomes:
Knowledge and its Application:
A1 Ability to demonstrate knowledge of theories, concepts, principles and facts in the fields of chemistry and related sciences.
A2 Ability to adapt innovations in the fields of chemistry, biology and pharmacy to solve emerging problems.
A3 Ability to evaluate the latest achievements in the field of chemistry and related sciences in the context of the development, research and application of drugs and their forms.
Research Skills:
B1 Ability to formulate the aim and tasks of scientific research, to analyze the scientific, informational and regulatory literature obtained with modern information retrieval tools.
B2 Ability to plan experimental research and analyze and critically evaluate the procedures and results of an independent experiment (scientific research) using computer technologies.
B3 Ability to develop a research methodology for solving emerging problems in the field of medicinal chemistry.
B4 Ability to analyze and evaluate data from chemical, biological or pharmaceutical research required for innovation.
Specific Skills:
C1 Ability to safely use complex or non-standard chemical laboratory equipment and devices for the synthesis of chemical compounds, isolation of biologically active compounds from plant raw materials, determination of structure, purity assessment or quantitative analysis procedures.
C2 Ability to perform biological, microbiological or biopharmaceutical research on the quality of medicinal substances or pharmaceutical forms.
C3 Ability to perform phytochemical research of medicinal plant raw materials and phytopreparations.
C4 Ability to predict the effect of the main groups of drugs according to the mechanism of action and to predict the regularities of drug-target interaction.
Social Skills:
D1 Ability to systematize and present research results in writing and orally to an audience of different listeners.
D2 Ability to plan and coordinate project or research activities.
D3 Ability to work together to achieve common goals in an interdisciplinary group.
Personal Skills:
E1 Ability to plan and organize independent work and learning, think systematically, analytically.
E2 Ability to make innovative decisions and innovate based on the knowledge of medicinal chemistry.
E3 Ability to work in an international environment.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Material of the study module is gained both by activity in auditorium and individual work. Activity in auditorium includes lectures, group research and practical work. Individual work is comprised by study of theoretical material, preparation for lectures, group research and practical work, midterms and exam. It also includes preparation of homework, projects and other activities.
Study programme is accomplished by Final degree project.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Knowledge, abilities and skills, that the student will acquire during the course of the programme, are graded and registered to databases during the evaluation of the student‘s independent work and during the exam session (grade in ten-point scale).
The Final degree project is defended in the public session of the studies’ branch qualification committee.
