Department Teaching

We strive to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical applications, providing our students with a well-rounded learning experience.

We place emphasis on key areas such as (1) ensuring the safety of drug therapies, (2) implementing evidence-based practices in medication management, and (3) advancing the field of personalised medicine. Furthermore, we place an importance on the practical application of knowledge and the fostering of interdisciplinary collaboration within the realm of clinical pharmacy. Our students are not only well-versed in theory but also effective in applying their learned competencies in real-world scenarios whilst working effectively with peers.

Topics include:

  • Drug Information: Skills in sourcing and critically evaluating drug-related information using modern databases.
  • Therapy Individualisation: Fundamentals of health economics, pharmacovigilance, and Personalised medicine.
  • Clinical Pharmacy: Insights into hospital pharmacy workflows and interdisciplinary patient care.
  • Research Analysis and Discussion: Training in analysing and interpreting research outcomes.
  • Pathophysiology and Statistics: Advanced understanding of physiology, pathophysiology, and statistical application in pharmaceutical research.
  • Scientific Writing: Development of skills for designing and reporting research in line with sustainability goals.
  • Drug Information and Management: Evidence-based discussions and management of therapies for common diseases, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures.
  • Quantification of Drug Effects: A deeper dive into pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and genetic influences for rational therapy design.
  • Medication Therapy Safety (AMTS): Understanding error prevention, medication management, and personalised drug therapies, supported by seminars and practical communication training.
  • AMTS and Communication Training: Advanced patient and healthcare professional communication strategies.
  • Scientific Writing: Structured approaches to crafting scientific texts and understanding the interplay of statistics and research documentation.
  • Bachelor Thesis: Independent scientific research in core pharmaceutical fields.
Our taught modules have targeted learning outcomes.

You will find these summarised below. 


740007 VO Physiology & Pathophysiology II (Kidney)

Acquisition of theoretical knowledge for the understanding of the structure of the human organism, its normal bodily functions and the malfunctions derived from it in the context of the development of important human diseases

740032 VU Academic Writing (Elective Module for PhDs) – Eng

At the end of the course, students should have sufficient knowledge and intuition in the field of statistics and scientific publication to be able to think through the design of their experiments competently and in line with the Aurora goal SDG 12 (Sustainability of Consumption and Production).

740070 VU Scientific Writing (Eng) (Compulsory Module in the Master's Program)

Insight into the generic structure of scientific texts as well as encounter with the most relevant statistical requirements in Master's theses. Insight into the relationship between statistical concepts and the structure of scientific texts.

740402 VU Drug Info

Understanding of the possibilities of obtaining pharmacological and toxicological information relevant to drug therapy (with special consideration of online information/databases), ability, and ability to obtain and critically interpret this information.

740451 VU Quantification of Drug Effect

In the VU, students consolidate their knowledge of general principles of drug effects determined by the interaction of drug and body, which they have acquired in the lecture "Basics of Drug Reactions and Biopharmaceuticals", using practical examples. This includes, on the one hand, the effects and mechanisms of action of drugs in the organism (pharmacodynamics) and, on the other hand, changes in the drug concentration as a function of time by the organism (pharmacokinetics) as well as the influence of genetics on these processes. This understanding is a prerequisite for rational drug therapy.

740471 VU Drug Therapy & Medication Management

Evidence-based drug therapy of important human diseases and their significance in comparison to non-pharmacological therapeutic measures.

740471 VU Drug Therapy and Medication Management

Competence in modern medication management, evidence-based drug therapy and their understanding on the basis of pathophysiological relationships;

740530 VO Drug Therapy (AMTS)

Students have knowledge of the fundamentals of drug therapy safety (AMTS). This includes error detection; -Prevention and management; Improvement of the AMTS (medication plan; Medicines Reconciliation; medication analysis and step-by-step approach to medication management). Evidence-based drug therapy of special diseases and individual/personalised drug therapy in certain patient populations.

740532 SE Drug Therapy (AMTS)

Evidence-based discussions about drug therapy and principles in certain patient collectives.

740534 UE Drug Therapy (AMTS)

Communication with patients and medical and non-medical health workers.

740536 VO Therapy Individualization

Students have basic theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of health economics, quality of life measurement, pharmacoeconomic studies, personalized drug therapy, drug safety and pharmacovigilance.

740540 VO KH Pharmacy

Students acquire knowledge about drug therapy-relevant workflows in hospital pharmacies and the importance of interdisciplinary counseling at the bedside.

740925 VO Statistics

Ability to correctly apply elementary statistics in PhD projects appropriate to the course format.

740927 SE Analysis of own research results

Correct analysis to interpret obtained results from various research papers

740929 SE Discussion of current research results

Correct discussion on the interpretation of received results from various research papers

740954 VU Writing of scientific papers (Eng)
