The Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences provides advanced degree programs for both Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy candidates. Students can pursue research in pharmaceutical science or pharmacy practice. Those interested in graduate studies should explore the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences website to learn about available resources, faculty research specialties, and the Graduate Studies Handbook for comprehensive program information. An MSc requires at least six credit hours of graduate coursework, though additional classes may be necessary based on the student's focus area, academic background, and advisor recommendations. A successfully defended thesis is mandatory, along with a minimum residency of two four-month terms of full-time study at the University of Alberta.
