Vilnius University is the oldest university in the Baltic states, founded in 1579. It is a public university with over 26,000 students and 4,000 staff members. It offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs in the fields of humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, medicine, and engineering. Vilnius University is ranked #351-400 in the QS World University Rankings 2024. It is also a member of the Coimbra Group and the European University Association.

This programme is designed for graduates of Chemistry, Biochemistry or a closely related discipline who wish to contribute to the development of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. The study areas include research methods, pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism, drug design and drug synthesis, spectroscopy and structural analysis, and research training projects. Some courses will cover the key techniques in analytical chemistry used to support the pharmaceutical sciences. The Pharmaceutical Chemistry programme is more involved with the pharmaceutical industry and research aspects than with a traditional pharmacist’s customer service and patient care responsibilities. The studies will provide a graduate with the professional skills to work in industrial companies that develop, produce, investigate and/or supply pharmaceutical products, or in research institutes, or to continue their studies in doctoral programmes in the fields of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology or Medical Sciences.
