Galenical Pharmacy

Recommended Prerequisites

 Applied Physics, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology. 

Teaching Methods

 The lecture and laboratory are taught to enable students to grasp selective and integrated scientific knowledge as a result of a logical and deductible. Subjects are systematized, aiming to achieve the competencies that are established for this teaching unit. The lectures have lasting sixty minutes and follow the model of masterful lesson. In the exhibition uses the data "show." Previously, the classes are available in UCStudent. Laboratory classes lasting two hours to allow practical work described above and contribute to the achievement of the proposed objectives.
