Læreplan
Requirements for Degree Completion
Units Required
Der kræves minimum 24 enheder i kurser (se kursustilbud nedenfor) og 28 samlede enheder er nødvendige for at afslutte eksamen. Alle studerende deltager i 12 enheder eller kernekursuspensum (PSCI 501-503) plus en 4Studenter i specialesporet tager 4 af enhederne i 594A og 594B (MS-afhandling). Kerneplanen lægger vægt på lægemiddelopdagelse, lægemiddellevering og molekylær farmakologi.
Research
Research can be initiated at any point in the program. Students selecting the non-research master’s track may elect and are encouraged to carry out research in their program.
Thesis/Dissertation
Students may choose between two tracks to complete the Master of Science degree. First, the research track requires that the student carry out a research project during their program. As noted above, research towards the thesis can be begun at any point, though typically this begins during the first semester. The thesis should be about 50 pages.
Second, the non-research, non-thesis Master’s track requires that the student complete 28 units of coursework. Several options regarding the nature and scope of coursework are available.
