Academic content
The field of pharmacy offers exciting prospects, particularly in research and industry. Those who are less interested in everyday pharmacy work and more enthusiastic about scientific issues and laboratory work can lay the foundation for a research-oriented career with a bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical sciences.
The aim of the programme is to provide students with a broad education in natural sciences, incorporating medical content and skills with a focus on analytics, quality assurance and drug design.
The curriculum comprises both classical scientific fundamentals (e.g. in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology) and specialist study content (e.g. pharmaceutics, medical fundamentals, drug discovery and pharmaceutical bioinformatics).
The programme is supplemented by a required elective module and courses on career-oriented skills (BOK), allowing students to set individual priorities. The required elective modules deepen specialist knowledge in the various areas of pharmaceutical sciences, while the BOK area allows students to choose disciplines outside their field (e.g. various languages, skills in marketing and management, IT skills, communication, etc.).
Overall, the programme places great emphasis on practical relevance – students learn to work independently and to organise themselves.
Apart from the LMU München, the University of Freiburg is the only other German university offering a Bachelor's degree programme in Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Career perspectives
The Bachelor's programme in Pharmaceutical Sciences opens up a wide range of opportunities in research and industry. Graduates are qualified for positions in the pharmaceutical industry, for example in drug development, quality assurance or regulatory affairs, as well as in analytical laboratories or in the field of drug-related administration. The programme also provides a solid foundation for further master's studies in natural sciences such as pharmaceutical sciences, biochemistry or biology – thus laying the groundwork for a future career in pharmaceutical research.
Under certain conditions, it is also possible to enter the advanced study programme of the State Examination in pharmacy.

The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.

Lottery procedures are conducted in subjects with restricted admission where places are still available. Should places still be available after the final waiting list procedure, these are allocated in a lottery procedure. Application for participation in the lottery procedure must be made online and separately for each degree programme to which admission is sought.
