Top 8 German Universities to Study Pharmacy

Studying Pharmacy is a dream for numerous students around the world. For those who aim Germany as an international experience offering great study environments, innovative and accessible practice laboratories, highly grated professors and researchers and low tuition costs the choice won’t bring any regrets. Pharmacy is an important part of the healthcare chain presenting a broad job market for those who successfully accomplish the title and right to be part of this ginormous circuit. According to Zeit Online rankings for the year 2013/2014, several criteria chosen carefully are presented in order to choose for the best German University to study Pharmacy. Among the pool of standards expected to be met, I chose the following five in order to come up with a list of best accomplished Universities in Germany to study Pharmacy.

• Laboratories – Students in Medicine and Natural Sciences assessed the availability and state of laboratory workstations.
• Support for stays abroad – Students assessed the attractiveness of the exchange programme, the attractiveness of the partner universities, the sufficiency of the number of exchange places, support and guidance in preparing the stay abroad, financial support (scholarships, exemption from study fees), the accreditation of studies performed abroad and the integration of the stay abroad into studies (no time loss caused by stay abroad).
• Research Reputation – Which tertiary institutions are the leading ones according to the opinion of the professors in research? Naming the own tertiary institution was not taken into consideration.
• Study Organization – Students assessed amongst other things the completeness of the courses offered in respect of the study regulations, the access opportunities to compulsory events and the co-ordination of the courses offered with the examination regulations
• Job Market Preparation – Students assessed the programs offered by their college to promote the relevance to the professional field and jobs market. This includes information events on professional fields and the jobs market, specific programs and lectures to provide job relevant and subject comprehensive qualifications, support in looking for work placements, arranging Diplom work subjects in co-operation with the world of work help when looking for a job after completing studies.

Zeit Online based the criteria on the students, alumni and professor judgments randomly questioned as well as fact and accurate data. The following list comprises of eight German Universities that popped to meet the selected criteria with flying colors, making for this year’s best choice to study the designated field.

Pharmacy focuses on the development and production as well as the use and effects of pharmaceuticals. Due to this broad focus, students first receive basic training in chemistry, biology and medicine as well as, to a lesser extent, physics and mathematics. This is followed by courses that examine specific pharmaceutical subject areas.

Pharmaceutical chemistry explores the discovery and development processes as well as the modes of action of specific drugs, while pharmacology focuses on the drugs’ effects and reactions in the body. Pharmaceutical technology examines the ways in which active ingredients can be administered (in form of tablets, drops, as an ointment, etc.).

To promote practical experience in addition to their theoretical knowledge, students are required to complete an eight-week internship (the so-called Famulatur) at a pharmacy during their basic studies (years 1 and 2). The main studies are followed by a year of practical training. The ultimate goal of this program is pharmacist licensure, which students attain by passing the state pharmaceutical examination.

Possible lines of work:

Work at a retail or a hospital pharmacy, pharmaceutical industry/pharmaceutical wholesaling, administration (health authorities), social security/occupational organizations, military (medical officer), teacher at a German technical college, free-lance journalistic work (publishers, specialist periodicals), academia (teaching/research at universities, research institutions, etc.)
