Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry

Faculty: The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry (PHC) is a new department at College of Medical and Applied Sciences- Charmo University. It was established in 2018. Currently, there are eleven teaching staff in the department and all the faculty members have doctoral and master’s degree. Faculty teaching staffs are actively engaged in research and they publish their work in high ranked and reputed international journals. Pharmaceutical Chemistry department is a specific department which represent the link between both chemical and biological disciplines to serve medical sector. The function of this department is to provide students with a complex understanding of drug and auxiliary substance chemistry.
The
Pharmaceutical Chemistry department is a four-years study which followed
bologna process which consists of 8 semesters (each two semester per one year) undergraduate
study leading to a bachelor's degree (B.Sc.). Those students who joined the PHC
department including those students which have got high degree during their
last year of their higher (secondary) school.
Students
joined the first academic year at PHC department in 2018-2019 and the first
batch of students will graduate in September 2022.
Mission of
department:

The department is responsible for teaching the core in analytical chemistry,
organic chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Toxicology, Pharmacology,
Pharmacognosy and Drug Design. The courses in the department also focus on
practical courses including pharmaceutical biochemistry, organic chemistry and
development of the drug and control drug.
Consequently,
the students can get comprehensive information in the field of basic chemistry
and pharmaceutical (drug), which students will able to design and develop drugs
and to expand new methods for the analysis of the drug, subsequent the best
recent teaching methods.
The students
in the first and second semester of their study can get some fundamental
modules which help them to better understand for their later semesters, these
basic lectures including of organic, physical, analytical and biochemistry.
The course
contents also paid special consideration to the molecular structure of the drug,
methods of analysis and principles to learn the design and development of the
drug. Vision:There
is a lack of graduated in the Pharmacy work in the pharmaceutical industry in
Kurdistan, and there is an unmet need for employees in the pharmaceutical
industry. The idea of creating this department at the university came through
the university presidency plan, to develop the field of drug and pharmaceutical
industry and to provide the hospitals and other health sectors with graduates
of pharmaceutical chemistry. In addition, by having a source of undergraduate
students there will be no need for graduates of this specialization from outside
Kurdistan. Aims of the department:
Pharmaceutical
chemistry department aims are:
1. Recognition
and classification of some scientific branches which includes physical chemistry,
analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and bio chemistry.
2. Preparing students to adapt with the
modern techniques used in the development and designing drugs. As well as to
learn the processes of drug synthesis and study the mechanics of work, structures,
and applications.
3. To achieve excellence in educational courses and
scientific research with a wide scientific
background that contributes synthesis of new drugs and pharmaceutical quality control.
Teaching Philosophy:
Pharmaceutical
chemistry department has several academic teaching staff which they have
doctoral and master’s degree and they are actively engaged in both teaching and researching.
Undergraduate and post graduate study:
PHC department, now has both undergraduate
and post graduate students.
 1) Since 2018,
for the first time the first semester of the department was opened, and more
than 30 students joined to the department.
2) In 2020, for
the first time, the department has opened the post graduate study for both high
diploma and master student in biochemistry, clinical chemistry, organic
chemistry, physical chemistry, and nano chemistry.
1.
During the academic year,
several methods of teaching will be used in order to send off the message
contents of the course book which will be inclusive lectures, problem solving
and discussion methods. 2.
The contents of the
lessons will be presented using data show (Power Point), white board, etc. 3.
The whole course material
will be uploaded to the Google Classroom few days before the lecture will be
taught. 4.
English is the written and
spoken language in all lessons.
5.
All the material is
written in the course book and covered in all the classes will be included in
the exam.
