- Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs
Knowledge of quality control and regulation are becoming ever more sought after by a number of industry job providers (the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics and chemistry industries, for example). These needs, expressed by industry, have also been reiterated by government bodies that have been present at a number of public job placement events that the department has organised in recent years.
This master's program aims to combine advanced theoretical and practical knowledge of the pharmaceutical technology field with sufficient regulatory support, whether it is for the production or registration of pharmaceuticals.
The evolution of the pharmaceutical field, brought about by new production and administration technologies, has been so extraordinary that the registration, production, market and use of new pharmaceutical forms, which have now become true and proper drug release systems, requires a parallel updating and deepening of what technological innovation means for present and future regulations on drug production and registration, with special attention to be paid to pharmaceutical quality control. Legal and administrative topics therefore find ample room for development in this master's program.

PhD programme in Biomolecular and Pharmaceutical Sciences
The PhD programme in Biomolecular and Pharmaceutical Sciences provides interdisciplinary training that operates at the borders between molecular biology, biochemistry and pharmaceutical sciences. It is an in-depth research project supplemented by specific training in computational and experimental methods. This is made possible thanks to the collaboration of supervisors/tutors from five different departments:
- Department of Chemistry
- Department Life Sciences and System Biology
- Department of Molecular Biotechnology and Health Sciences
- Department of Drug Science and Technology
- Department of Public Health and Pediatrics
A major aim of the PhD program is to ensure early stage researcher "employability", either in academia or the industrial field, after the three-year research period. Within the program, there are a considerable number of collaborations with industry partners that doctoral students can take advantage of and that can lead to future integration into the world of research and/or industrial development.

The PhD program in Biomolecular and Pharmaceutical Sciences is run by the Doctoral School of Sciences and Innovative Technologies, which also runs other PhD courses.
