Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences

　The rapid progress in medical technology and development of new pharmaceuticals requires a reassessment of the education and training of pharmacists. In response to these needs, pharmaceutical education was changed from a four-year to a six-year program, beginning in 2006. Although basic science education was conducted at a very high level in the previous system, clinical education was insufficient. The six-year program aims to provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge of fundamental science to practice in clinical conditions. To respond to this new challenge, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences has engaged top-level educational specialists in fields ranging from basic science to advanced biotechnology. In addition, our facilities are fully equipped and highly sophisticated.
