The Department of Pharmacy (IFA) is located on campus Tromsø. We educate prescription pharmacists (Bachelor of Pharmacy), master pharmacists (Master of Pharmacy), and Ph.D. candidates. IFA is part of the Faculty of Health Sciences.

Alongside our pharmacy education programs, research is conducted in various pharmaceutical areas. Research areas include drug synthesis and analysis, potential drug development, mechanisms of drug action, pharmaceutical formulations (tablets, solutions, etc.), antibiotics and resistance development, mechanism of cancer cell signalling, drug use in the population, and the optimization of drug therapy for individual patients (clinical pharmacy).
