Pharmacy is an interdisciplinary natural science and a profession with intersections to medicine, chemistry, biochemistry, life and material sciences. The center of university research is from drug discovery to formulation and drug application in patients.
The degree program leads to licensure as a Pharmacist. This opens up all the diverse fields of activity of a Pharmacist with the professional fields of public pharmacy and hospital pharmacy, drug research and development at universities and the pharmaceutical industry, quality control, health administration, publishing houses, associations and in the medical service of the Bundeswehr, among others.
In addition, the academic degree of a Diploma Pharmacist can be obtained in Leipzig.
At Leipzig University, pharmacy is part of the Faculty of Medicine. This assignment is frequently found internationally, but is currently still a unique feature in Germany.
Pharmacy in the dynamic, science-oriented and culturally vibrant city of Leipzig is characterized by a nationally and internationally renowned young team and excellent equipment in research and teaching. Our comparatively small member of students offers excellent individual study conditions.
For teaching, the five departments work closely together, i.e. Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Technology, Pharmaceutical Biology, Pharmacology and Toxicology and Clinical Pharmacy. Every year, a high proportion of former first-year students successfully complete their education.
