The course provides a platform for the investigation, presentation and discussion of a topic with relevance to the field of pharmaceutical sciences. Students work in small groups on a chosen topic and present their work on a one day symposium.

First identification with Pharmaceutical Sciences; motivation for profiling in the Natural Sciences, which are focused on within the first two years as a preparation for the specialized studies; sensitization for the duties and the responsibilities of a person with a federal diploma in Pharmacy; information about job opportunities.

The course places the basic pharmaceutical knowledge acquired to date, particularly in pharmacology, in an applied therapeutic context and encourages interdisciplinary thinking in pharmacy. Weekly practical sessions present and discuss common pharmaceutical case studies that may arise in a pharmacist's daily work.
