Generally accepted as an important domain within the life sciences, the pharmaceutical sciences have as their aim the overall study of those chemical substances, which produce a direct effect on human life and health. This direct relationship with human life itself makes the pharmaceutical sciences utterly indispensable to the good health of the people, and consequently, one can say that those who practice them bear a heavy social responsibility for the preservation of human life and the promotion of better health standards.
Recently, in proportion to the rapid progress of science in general, together with the structural change of society and the diversification of the living environment, the research fields within the pharmaceutical sciences have expanded remarkably, and a greater importance has come to be placed upon them. Nowadays, that is, the pharmaceutical sciences have come to be recognized as one of the crucial fields of life science aimed not only at preserving human life, but promoting the quality of life.
Our mission, then, as a university, is to contribute to the further advancement of the pharmaceutical sciences through the education of students and the carrying out of pioneering research work. More specifically, we aim to cultivate well-trained researchers and technical experts who can play, with competence and discernment, an active role in the growing and increasingly specialized and diversified world of the pharmaceutical sciences.
In order to fulfill these important responsibilities, our university curriculum provides students with a broad-based program of study of the various professional subjects, consisting, for the most part, of the relevant branches of chemistry, physics, and biology. To be more precise, one of the main objectives of our curriculum is for students to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the pharmaceutical sciences.
