Teaching

The involvement of the Drug Formulation & Delivery group in teaching includes two mandatory courses in Galenical Pharmacy. A wide scope of drug formulation and delivery is covered, ranging from physical pharmacy, basic pharmaceutics, excipients, preformulation, and quality assurance to pharmaceutical technology and manufacturing, and selected aspects of biopharmaceutics, drug delivery, and drug targeting.

The teaching program of the Drug Formulation & Delivery group also offers a 6-week undergraduate laboratory course (approx. 120 hours in the spring term). It includes a large number of methodological exercises and a small project that lasts approx. 2.5 weeks. The small project introduces the students into the scientific format of the Research Project and Master Thesis project, which follow later on in their studies. The small project is performed in groups and includes the working with scientific literature, scientific experimental planning, GLP-based experiments and a scientific report and oral presentation. Students are guided as they work independently on the experimental design of the small projects, their execution and the evaluation and written presentation of the results.
