Profile

One indicator of the progress of a nation is the number and quality of human resources. The high number of university graduates, especially those with Master's degrees, means the ability of a nation to produce inventions, innovations and developments in science and technology, as well as its application to solve various national difficulties. This study program has been established since 1984 with a license from DIKTI No. 593/DIKTI/Kep/1993, and the Superior accreditation (LAM-PTKes) based on Decree No. 0178/LAM-PTKes/Akr/Mag/V/2021. This study program is managed by 34 permanent lecturers with doctoral and professor qualifications. Outsourcing programs for the expert staff or practitioners recruitment have also been developed to improve the quality of the teaching and learning process. Master Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences aims to produce graduates who have the competence to:

1. Develop the knowledge and technology in the field of pharmaceutical sciences through research to produce innovative and certified projects.
2. Solve challenges in knowledge and technology regarding Pharmaceutical Sciences through an inter or multidisciplinary approach.
3. Manage research and development that is beneficial to society along with science, including be able to gain national and international recognition.
