MA/MS in Pharmacy

This five-year master's degree trains pharmacists to carry out pharmaceutical research, support drug development and apply knowledge of medicinal products across different areas of health care, while maintaining professional standards through lifelong learning. Research training follows bioethical requirements and covers planning studies, drawing statistically valid conclusions, and critically evaluating methods and data to shape new pharmaceutical products and services. Specific skills include preparing and testing pharmaceutical forms, managing the storage and supply of medicines in public pharmacies, hospitals and wholesale trade, evaluating the appropriateness of prescriptions, and identifying and reporting suspected adverse drug reactions to the relevant authorities. Graduates are expected to communicate pharmaceutical knowledge clearly to colleagues and patients, work within multidisciplinary health-care teams in Lithuania and abroad, and take responsibility for the quality of their own and their team's performance. The programme also builds systematic and strategic thinking for leading teams and developing colleagues' competence over time.
