Description
The PhD is awarded for an original investigation leading to the significant advancement of knowledge in the field of pharmaceutical and/or biomedical sciences. Didactic courses and seminars will provide students with the required theoretical knowledge, basic principles, and methods in the field. Under the guidance of the departmental graduate committee, students will complete those courses that best serve their particular needs. During their training, they are expected to demonstrate, by appropriate examination, a breadth of knowledge, particularly in pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences, and how chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and physiology can help them build this knowledge. Students are also expected to develop competency to evaluate and communicate scientific research via oral presentation and in writing.
