Department of Pharmacy

Prof. Tsuneyuki Yamamoto

The greatest feature of our Department is our ability to provide small class sizes. Each faculty member is paired with 3-4 students per grade year and offers guidance from their first day until graduation day.

Our faculty consist of veteran and up-and-coming members who work as one team to help train future pharmacists. Of course, to realize students' goal of becoming nationally certified pharmacists, individual faculty members work closely with students to provide personalized support to students as they work toward passing the national certification exam.

In addition, the Department also has a medicinal plant garden and classrooms furnished with the latest technology related to the field of pharmacy. Furthermore, our in-house model pharmacy, hospital room, and consultation room are where students gain essential training before beginning their practical training out in the field which forms the centerpiece of our 6-year program. Graduates of the Department will be able to work in a variety of positions such as pharmacists at pharmacies, as researchers at universities or drug companies, or as administrators working in environmental protection or school health.

I hope you will join us here and at our other campus, Huis Ten Bosch, to study and work toward further progress in the field of medicine.

The Department of Pharmacy has a systematic 6-year program to nurture highly qualified pharmacists who can contribute to the fields of medicine and healthcare. In addition to providing specialized courses in pharmaceutical science, we work closely with the Department of Social Work and the Department of Health and Nutrition.

By acquiring skills in welfare and nutrition we are able to care for patients from the heart.

Another feature of our Department is the low student-teacher ratio. In our introductory courses we motivate students by allowing them to closely interact with department members in small groups at least once a week. Through these opportunities, students will deepen their understanding in their chosen area of study.
Our department members bring a wealth of professional experience and are dedicated to providing top-level training, knowledge and skills to students. Moreover, students can learn more about pharmaceutical sciences through access to the most up to date research by our department members.

In order to acquire special knowledge and skills for pharmaceutical sciences, practical experience is essential. In our Department, we provide quality education in basic, applied and clinical pharmaceutical sciences both inside and outside the school. Students in their fourth year acquire basic knowledge and skills for practice outside the school. In their fifth year, students do an 11-week practical course at a hospital pharmacy as well as a community drug store. In addition, we have the most up to date equipment and facilities in order to provide high quality training.
