Training of production engineers for pharmaceutical industry of Ukraine in specialty “Industrial Pharmacy” and specialty “Technologies of Drugs”, and now – inclusive Master’s degree program under specialty “226 Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy”, is unchanged during 25 years of Faculty’s existence.

Today “Industrial Pharmacy” is not a separate specialty, but stands in a line with “Pharmacy” specialty, which does not correspond to the world practice of pharmaceutical personnel training. Therefore, the NUPh, as a pioneer, should work on separation of this specialty.
