The Master of Pharmacy (M. Pharm.) program at Quantum University offers advanced specialization in two critical domains: Pharmacology and Pharmaceutics.
Pharmacology focuses on understanding how drugs interact with biological systems. It explores the mechanisms of drug action, therapeutic effects, side effects, and toxicological aspects. Students gain a strong foundation in experimental and clinical pharmacology, molecular biology, regulatory science, and safety evaluation. The curriculum prepares them for roles in drug research, clinical trials, pharmacovigilance, and academia.
Pharmaceutics, on the other hand, is concerned with the formulation, development, manufacturing, and delivery of pharmaceutical products. This specialization blends principles of chemistry, biopharmaceutics, and engineering to create effective and safe drug delivery systems. Students learn about novel drug delivery systems, industrial pharmacy, quality control, and regulatory compliance.
With the rapid growth of the pharmaceutical industry, there is a strong demand for skilled professionals in both pharmacology and pharmaceutics. The increased emphasis on research, regulatory standards, and advanced formulations has made these fields highly relevant.
