Our institution uses a strong practical profile for the teaching and learning of Pharmaceutical Sciences. For most of our courses the knowledge gained in the theoretical classes is applied in laboratory rotations where strong practical stress is put on the professional pharmaceutical skills that will be used in the future professional life. Problem based learning is also used in Theoretical practical classes. In all situations the professional role of the pharmacist is kept in mind in order to prepare our students for the future challenges they will face as pharmacists.

We consider research to be an important part of the development of our students. During their last year all students are obliged to present a thesis that will reflect the research they have done during their research rotation. Our research focus mainly in themes that are directly related to the professional challenges that students will face during their professional lifes, and aims not only to obtain strong publishable results but also to develop analytical and critical thinking skills for our students. Students are also welcome to cooperate in research projects.
