Overview

The  Pharmacy programme at Masaryk University is carried out in full-time form and the standard study period is 5 years (bachelor's and master's all together). 

It is designed to meet the current expertise of pharmaceutical, medical and natural sciences, the needs of practice and to be a quality basis for further education (PharmDr, PhD). 

A degree in pharmacy is the only field of studies that provides comprehensive knowledge of medications, their preparation, production, and effects, as well as their safe and effective use in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various diseases.

The studies are completed with a final state examination, which includes the defense of a diploma thesis. The diploma is internationally recognized. 

The programme’s integral parts are two phases of practical training. 

• The first part comes during your third year as a 2-week practice in a pharmacy, experiencing the pharmacist’s work day hands-on.
• The second part consists of a 6 months long pharmacy internship undergone during your last semester. At least 2 weeks out of mandatory practical training need to be done in the Czech Republic, while the rest is up to you.
