Master's Course in Pharmaceutical Sciences

The Master's Course in Pharmaceutical Sciences sits within the Graduate School of Pharmacy at Showa Pharmaceutical University and is organised around the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Students follow lectures and carry out research in parallel, with very small classes and close discussion with their supervising faculty member. To graduate, students complete the required credits, have a master's thesis examined and pass a final examination, after which the degree of Master of Pharmaceutical Sciences is conferred. The course accepts a broad range of applicants. Graduates of other universities, working adults and graduates of the six-year pharmacy programme are all welcome. The admission policy asks for solid foundations in the field, English ability, intellectual curiosity, a sense of ethics, cooperation with others and a willingness to keep learning throughout life.
