• can give grounds for ATC classification (anatomical therapeutic chemical) of different main groups of pharmaceuticals
• can describe the chemical composition and pharmacological effects of selected groups of pharmaceuticals, herbal medicinal products and phyto-pharmaceuticals
• can explain the use of different derivatives of pharmaceutical molecules and their significance to pharmacological activities
• can describe pharmaceutical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics with a focus on how pharmaceuticals are metabolised

Skills

The student

• can assess the structure-activity relationship and molecular mechanisms of action for the main groups of pharmaceuticals, herbal medicinal products and phyto-pharmaceuticals
• can apply new and updated knowledge of phyto-pharmaceuticals and food supplements

General competence

The student

• can independently acquire knowledge about and assess the properties of a pharmaceutical product and its structure-activity relationship

Work and teaching methods include lectures and group work. Discussing the discipline with fellow students and teachers is emphasised.

Grade scale A-F

All answers are assessed by one examiner. An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.
