45 credits (semester 3 + 4)*

Bioinformatics (3FF029)
Computational Medicinal Chemistry (3FK038)
Pharmacometrics (3FB029)
Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics (3FG001)

30 credits (semester 4)

Bioinformatics (3FF028)
Computational Medicinal Chemistry (3FK037)
Pharmacometrics (3FB007)
Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics (3FG000).

*If this is your first choise for autumn semester, you ought to apply to elective courses as a back-up plan, but please note that you only can have one of them in the programme and that they use diffrent application forms.
