Collaborative
Program of the Faculty of Arts & Science and the Leslie Dan Faculty of
Pharmacy
Pharmaceutical Chemistry
combines knowledge of the biological, medical, and physical sciences in the
study of the scientific aspect of drug therapy. The emphasis is on the
chemical nature of the reactions and interactions involved in drug therapy.
The students will receive a solid background in the aspects of chemistry the
most relevant to drugs: physical, organic, and analytical chemistry. They
will also learn the fundamental aspects of the synthesis, manufacture, use,
and mode of action of drugs.
For more information, please see the program brochure.
We also offer an optional 12- or 16-month internship program to qualified students. This is a project-based, paid employment placement that takes place between the 3rd and 4th years of undergraduate study. It provides the student with an opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired in the first three years of university to private- or public-sector settings. Placements are available in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, university research labs, university-affiliated organizations, or government research agencies.
For information about the Internship Program please visit PEY Internship.
