MSc in Pharmaceutical Sciences - A profile in demand

The pharmaceutical industry is financially strong and growing and developing rapidly. At all times, the industry needs to be able to recruit a sufficient number of graduates with a focused background in the pharmaceutical sciences.
Graduates in the pharmaceutical sciences are in heavy demand in the pharmaceutical industry internationally and in the Danish biotech, medico-tech and pharmaceutical industries that hold a key position in the international arena.

The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen offers a focused MSc programme in the pharmaceutical sciences in English. Students from Denmark or abroad holding a bachelor’s degree with a solid background in chemistry and biology can tailor a two-year master’s programme weighted with drug-oriented courses. The programmes of The Faculty include pharmacy courses not found at other Danish universities. If you are thinking of a career in the pharmaceutical industry, a Master of Science degree in the pharmaceutical sciences from the University of Copenhagen is an excellent springboard.

An MSc in the pharmaceutical sciences will give you an educational combination that will supplement other experts in the field. Your profile will be much in demand thanks to your BSc in one of the technical, natural science or health science fields coupled with an MSc focusing on drugs and drug development. The Faculty offers three lines in the pharmaceutical sciences, which will give you access to that aspect of the field in which you are most interested.
