November 10, 2025

The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences is pleased to announce the introduction of part-time study options for our MSc and PhD programs. This initiative has been developed to provide enhanced flexibility for working professionals seeking to advance their expertise while maintaining their career and personal responsibilities.

Part-time students will benefit from extended completion timelines that accommodate professional commitments:

  • MSc students: up to five years to complete their degree
  • PhD students: up to eight years to complete their program

Additional details regarding part-time student classification are available through the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.

The part-time format creates a distinctive learning environment where students can immediately integrate theoretical knowledge into their professional practice. Concurrently, the industry insights and practical experience students contribute serve to enhance the depth and relevance of their academic research, fostering a dynamic exchange between workplace and academic settings.

Applications are now being accepted. Prospective students are encouraged to review admission requirements and application procedures here.
