General information:
The duration of the studies of pharmacy
is 4 years in Germany, i. e. a total of 8 terms. There is a summer term (Sommersemester)
with lectures and practicals from approx. April 15th to July 15th
and a winter term (Wintersemester) with lectures and practicals from approx.
October 15th until February 15th .
The content of the curriculum for
pharmacy students is defined by the German pharmacy curriculum (Approbationsordnung)
being valid for all countries of Germany. That means the same lectures, seminars
and practicals are offered at all German universities. There is also a list
of contents for the different topics to be taught, of course giving a certain
frame of flexibility regarding emphasis of certain topics. The emphasis might
vary from university to university depending on the professors and teaching
personnel running the education.
Because of the uniform regulation
of the education of pharmacy students, certificates acquired at one university
are accepted at all other German universities.
The study itself is divided into
two parts, one basic part of 2 years (Grundstudium) and a second more specialised
part of another two years (Hauptstudium). The major exams are after the first
2 years (Erstes Staatsexamen) and after 4 years at the end of the studies (Zweites
Staatsexamen), the examinations are organised by the State (not the university).
Therefore the certificate issued is a “State certificate”, no university
certificate.
Varying from university to university
there are also lectures and courses offered in addition to the compulsory program
of the official German pharmacy curriculum (Approbationsordnung).
