The current importance of pharmacological research makes this Postgraduate certificate an essential education for pharmacists. Don't think twice and specialize with us”

In the field of drug research, the pharmacist must have a broad knowledge of all aspects related to drug development, but they must also have sufficient knowledge of statistics to be able to conduct clinical trials as accurately as possible. 

The importance of statistical knowledge is due to the fact that it is the most appropriate way to reach reasonable and accurate conclusions from the information collected, and to probe decisions when certainties are scarce. Therefore, education in this field is essential for pharmacists specializing in the research sector.

In addition, a very important part of the Drug Research and Development process is to know how to communicate the new discoveries, which will allow further research in this field and promote its use in a generalized way, achieving a subsequent benefit for patients. Therefore, this program brings together all these sections, which will allow the professional to obtain a global but accurate vision of the process of Drug Research and Development.

As a perfect complement to this very complete program, TECH offers students a completely new educational methodology in a 100% online format, one of the main advantages of studying at this university. In this way, our students only need to have a computer or mobile device with an internet connection, and can continue their education from anywhere in the world, without limits of borders or schedules, and combining their education with the rest of their daily obligations.
