In the context of the implementation of the new postgraduate program, distinguished members of the University community of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and renowned scientists from the pharmaceutical industry, European institutions and public bodies such as the National Medicines Agency, organized and support a new postgraduate program at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki entitled “Industrial Pharmacy”.

The program is implemented at the Department of Pharmacy of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and aims to fully train and prepare the participating postgraduate students for their future employment in the Pharmaceutical Industry. The courses, most of them with practical applications, but also with the possibility to practice in real conditions of the Pharmaceutical Industry, focus on issues of Drug Design – Development, Preclinical and Clinical Evaluation, Preformulation – Formulation, Technology, Analysis, Cosmetology and Regulatory – Regulatory Framework, providing the trainee with all the necessary know-how in the field of medicine.

Based on the theoretical and practical training provided, “Industrial Pharmacy” offers the necessary knowledge and skills to students, making them competitive scientists to work in the Pharmaceutical Industry in the fields of Synthesis, Production, Quality Control, Research & Development of Pharmaceutical Products or to continue with a PhD thesis in the respective research fields, either in Greece or abroad. Our aim is to train and prepare scientists qualified and specialized for the pharmaceutical industry.
