Preparatory Course

The Preparatory Department of the University has been in existence for several decades. It was created and exists to prepare foreign students for studies at various faculties of the University.
The program of Preparatory Department is planned to run for 10 months. The first four months English or Romanian language is studied using special intensive method. Very soon students master the language to the degree that allows them to feel comfortable in all spheres of life in Moldova. The level of language reached is more than enough to study chemistry, biology and physics. These subjects (with special medical bias) are studied during the following months, and at the same time students continue to perfect English or Romanian language. 
Students study in groups of not more than 10. Conductive atmosphere of classes, modern equipment, methods of intensive and interactive training, and also the fact that all the attention is given to three subjects, promotes highly effective preparation of students towards studies in the 1st year, especially where major subjects are based on chemistry and biology.

Moreover, a unique approach is developing related to the pharmacist's perception as part of the medical team in hospitals.

The student trained in pharmacy is competent to respond to various needs in his field of expertise, such as: issuance of prescriptions and pharmacological consultation, with emphasis on compliance and continuity in drug treatment, follow-up on adverse events, and integration in clinical research teams on use of medicines in hospitals and in the community.

Within the scope of the degree, preference is given to the field of clinical pharmacy, integrated within the framework of hospitals. Apart from clinical emphasis, the curriculum aspires to excellence and encourages the student to take part in managing regulatory projects for pharmaceutical and biotech companies and health organizations.

The School of Pharmacy places an additional emphasis on the area of botanic pharmacy, a unique aspect that develops the pharmacist’s clinical abilities as an added value in a competitive labor market.
