The strong commitment to research excellence in this area at Tohoku University is carried out by the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences. The members of the Graduate School (and the Faculty) are at the leading edge of this research area.
Undergraduate Program
The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, which provides undergraduate education, consists of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences (4-year program) and the Department of Pharmacy (6-year program).
The educational goal of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences is to cultivate researchers and technical experts with a broad knowledge in the fields of life sciences and pharmaceutical sciences. The research skills for the drug development are further improved through a 2-year Master's program and a 3-year Ph.D. program at graduate school.
The main aim of education in the Department of Pharmacy is to develop students into skilled pharmacists with a sense of humanity and medical ethics, in addition to a solid foundation in basic life sciences and medical sciences. After completion of the undergraduate program, students will have a better chance to play an active part in research in the field of clinical pharmacy through a 4-year Ph.D. program at graduate school.

The aim of our graduate program is to provide the proper background for individuals to develop the required skills to become leaders in scientific research and development, capable of making original contributions to the advancement of pharmaceutical sciences and related disciplines. Programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are offered in wide research fields of pharmaceutical sciences. The research at our Graduate School is conducted in many interdisciplinary areas as shown in the URL of the "Academic Research Group".
Some graduate students receive the JASSO scholarships and the JSPS fellowships throughout their graduate study. Both the scholarships and the fellowships allow students to devote full-time efforts towards their degree programs.
