Overview
The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Pharmacy program at Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University (MBSTU) is an advanced postgraduate program designed to foster specialized research, innovation, and professional leadership across the core disciplines of pharmaceutical sciences. It focuses on the advanced aspects of drug discovery, pharmaceutical technology, mechanism of drug action, and clinical application.
The program extends over 2-3 semesters (3 for Thesis group and 2 for Non-Thesis group) and consists of 40 credit hours. The M.Sc. program emphasizes advanced drug analysis, novel drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical regulatory science, and advanced pharmacology. Theory courses are offered during the first two semesters, while the third semester is dedicated for thesis work. Non-Thesis group students are offered the opportunity of internship in a pharmaceutical manufacturing unit, R&D laboratory, or specialized clinical setting.
Program Majors and Research Areas
Students can specialize or conduct research in any of the following advanced Pharmacy fields:
Industrial Pharmacy and Advanced Drug Delivery Systems
Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Design
Pharmacology and Toxicology (Clinical Trials and Pharmacovigilance)
Pharmaceutical Analysis and Quality Assurance (QA/QC)
Clinical Pharmacy and Rational Drug Use
Pharmaceutical Biotechnology and Biologics
Cosmetic Science and Herbal Drug Technology
Program Outcomes (POs)
Upon successful completion of the M.Sc. in Pharmacy, graduates will be able to:
PO1: Advanced Knowledge: Demonstrate comprehensive and specialized knowledge of advanced drug action, complex formulation development, regulatory standards, and principles of quality management.
