Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this UE, the student will be familiarized with the quality control of pharmaceutical raw materials with the help of reference documents such as the monographs of the European Pharmacopoeia. The student will be able to read, understand and apply an experimental protocol in order to verify the identity and quality of a pharmaceutical raw material.
 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

This teaching unit consists of 80 hours of practical work in the laboratory and 5 hours of seminars.
