Educational Offer at the Department of Pharmacy (IFA)

At the department, pharmacists are educated in a bachelor's program and a master's program:

• Bachelor in Pharmacy is an undergraduate academic degree in Pharmacy, qualifying for a position as “reseptar farmasøyt” in the Norwegian pharmacies.

• Master in Pharmacy gives the final competences to become authorized pharmacist, according to the EU directives. With the master degree in Pharmacy, you are qualified for positions as “provisør farmasøyt” and head of Norwegian pharmacies, positions in hospital pharmacy or in hospital wards. Furthermore, the master degree entitles you to apply for a PhD position. You can also consider the possibility to work in the pharmaceutical industry.

Since we are part of the Faculty of Health Science and work closely together with the University Hospital of Northern Norway, we have established educational practice in clinical pharmacy with the focus on cross-professional interaction and patient-pharmacist interaction in a hospital ward. 

The department educates Ph.D. candidates and offers Ph.D. courses within different pharmaceutical areas.
