Bachelor Degree in Pharmaceutics

  

Program Outline

   Pharmaceutics involves the systematic design, technology, quality and operation of process systems for the production of pharmaceuticals. It was combined knowledge of basic chemistry, pharmacy, and biology with chemical engineering principles.

 

Educational Objectives

   The aim is to train application-oriented engineers who can adapt to the requirements of high-quality engineering and technical personnel due to the development of the national economy, science technology, and society, to satisfy the production practice demanding in Pharmaceutical Engineering, especially in the medicine, pesticides and other industries and have solid professional knowledge, strong engineering ability and innovative consciousness, and good teamwork spirit, and enable to engage in production management, technology development, process and equipment design, technological innovation and operating management, etc in the field of Pharmaceutical Engineering.

 

Educational Requirements

   Students of this major mainly learn the basic theories of pharmacy as well as basic theories and knowledge of Pharmaceutical Engineering. They must master professional theories knowledge of chemical units operation, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology and pharmaceutical technology, and have training on chemistry experiment technology, engineering practice, computer application and engineering design methods. They own the ability on producing medicine, engineering design, exploiting and developing new drugs.

   Upon successful completion of the Bachelor’s degree in Applied Chemistry Programme, students are acquired as follows:

   1. Master basic technical knowledge, skills and engineering methods of Pharmaceutical Engineering; understanding new products, new technologies, new processes and the developing trend of the technology in the field of Pharmaceutical Engineering.
