Students who successfully finalized the Bachelor in Pharmaceutical Sciences program can continue their education by following the Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences program. The latter takes 2 years and offers a training either in Pharmaceutical Care (Master in de Farmaceutische Zorg) or in Drug Development (Master in de Geneesmiddelenontwikkeling) with a number of theoretical and practical courses. During the final year, a 3 month research project is on the program resulting in the public defence of a master thesis. Also an internship (1000 hours) in a public and/or hospital pharmacy is a part of the training.
The master program currently runs in Dutch.
