There are no prerequisites but it is recommended:
Basic training in Physics and Chemistry to know the characteristics and properties of chemical products, bases of the physical and physicochemical processes necessary in the sequence of operations for the manufacture and control of medicinal products. Statistical training involved in the manufacture of medicines.
Basic training in Physiology and Pharmacology for knowledge of the place and form of action of drugs in order to choose the appropriate route of administration and pharmaceutical form for each active ingredient.
Pharmaceutical Technology is the discipline of the Pharmacy degree that provides the scientific and technological knowledge involved in the design, preparation and evaluation of the dosage forms of medicines. This knowledge enables the pharmacist to provide information, care and advice to patients on the administration and conservation of medicines.
All these characteristics are related to subjects such as Biopharmacy and Pharmacokinetics, Pharmaceutical Technology I and III, leading the student to acquire the necessary training to successfully deal with the administration of drugs with effective, safe and stable dosage forms.

In addition, students will have access to complementary bibliographic and audiovisual material (books, review articles, videos) in the university library on the Albacete campus. The teaching methodology through a combination of methods will include the expository/lecture method together with case studies. The active student participation in face-to-face teaching in workshops and seminars will be assessed using ICT tools. Cooperative work both in the classroom and outside of it will be materialised in the preparation and defence of work, as well as in the resolution of problems and/or cases that will be oral presentations. The grades obtained in these activities will be considered for the final assessment of the course. | |

Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
Test | 70.00% | 70.00% | Theoretical knowledge is assessed, as well as its application to the resolution of problems and case studies. |
Laboratory sessions | 20.00% | 20.00% | Attendance to the practical laboratory classes is compulsory. The grade obtained will account for 20 % of the final grade of the course. The application in the laboratory work of the knowledge previously learnt, the student's attitude and the adequate individual preparation of the laboratory notebook will also be considered. The laboratory notebook will be will be graded as PASS/FAIL. It is essential to obtain a PASS grade in the laboratory workbook to pass the practical section of the course, whose final grade will be the one obtained in the practical exam. If the student does not pass the practical section in the ordinary exam, he/she will have another opportunity to pass the course in the final exam of the extraordinary call. Once the practical section has been passed, the grade obtained will be kept for the following two academic years. |
Assessment of active participation | 10.00% | 10.00% | The teacher suggests that the student should attend regularly to the face-to-face activities during the course. The development of questions and problems by the student will be favourably assessed, as well as the presentation and public defence of works, the student's active participation and his/her attitude in class and tutorials. These activities are not compulsory. |
