Compulsory Module 1: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (2.5 ECTS-Credits, 3 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students are familiar with methods for protein and nucleic acid characterisation, genetic engineering and enzymology, and are able to apply them to the preparation and analysis of DNA, differential gene expression analysis, and recombinant protein expression and purification.
Compulsory Module 2: Pharmacognosy - Biogenous Drugs (12.5 ECTS-Credits, 8 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students are able to describe the most important medicinal plants in terms of their morphological features and typical ingredients or their use. They know the mechanisms underlying the effects and potential dangers. They are able to apply pharmacopoeias for identity, purity and content testing to determine the quality of selected herbal drugs in a testing laboratory.
Compulsory Module 3: Pharmacology and Drug Therapy I (10 ECTS- Credits, 5 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students are able to describe the evidence-based drug therapy of major diseases and non-medical adjuvant / alternative therapies, including diet modification. They cover pharmacoeconomic fundamentals and the principles of medication management, personalised drug therapy, drug safety and disease prevention. The contents of technical and usage information can be explained.
Compulsory Module 4: Pharmaceutical Chemistry (5 ECTS-Credits, 2 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: The students have basic knowledge of drug discovery, drug design and drug development. They recognise structure-based mechanisms of drug action and can demonstrate their action and target interactions based on the physicochemical properties of selected drugs. They are able to classify drugs based on their chemical affinity and derive general activity spectra.
Compulsory Module 5: Pharmaceutical Technology (5 ECTS-Credits, 2 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: The students have basic pharmaceutical and technological knowledge for the preparation, characterisation and testing of major drug forms as well as for the evaluation of instabilities and incompatibilities. They are familiar with the preparation of homeopathic preparations.
Compulsory Module 6: Preparation of Prescription Medication (10 ECTS-Credits, 7 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students know the theory for making compounding formulas and are able to apply it in practice. This includes the required tested according to the pharmacopoeia of all bases and excipients as well as common active ingredients and packaging.
Compulsory Module 7: Pharmacology and Drug Therapy II (10 ECTS-Credits, 5 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students are abe to describe the evidence-based drug therapy for important diseases as well as the non-medical concomitant/alternative therapies including diet modification. They understand the fundamentals of pharmaca-economics as well as the principles of medication management, individual drug therapy, drug safety and disease preventions. They are able to explain the contents of patient information leaflet and summaries of product characteristics.
Compulsory Module 8: Chemical Diagnostics I (5 ECTS-Credits, 3 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students are able to describe different methods (wet chemical evidence, rapid tests) of the qualitative and / or quantitative analysis as well as laboratory diagnostic parameters and the application of these methods. They can critically assess the methods, the results of the analyses and the diagnostic interpretation, and recognise possible errors / problems.
Compulsory Module 9: Chemical Diagnostics II(7,5 ECTS-Credits, 6 h)
Prerequisites for registration: positive completion of compulsory module 8
Learning Outcome: Students can demonstrate their knowledge of important biochemical and clinical chemistry (urinalysis, substrate concentration, enzyme activity and metabolite determinations, pregnancy tests and various rapid tests).
