Recently, Pharmaceutical Engineering has attracted the attention of many young people due to the increasing demand of  tech-companies and non-tech companies. So, what will graduates from this major do?

According to the International Union of Pure Chemistry and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), Pharmaceutical Chemistry is a science-based platform to study chemistry problems of the sciences of Biology, Medicine and Pharmacy school.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the pharmaceutical products are part of the foundation of traditional medicine and modern. These products are necessary to ensure safe, efficient, high quality, and is prescribed, reasonable use.

Therefore, the product of Chemical Engineering and Pharmacy are diverse, versatile: pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, health food products (such as nutritional drinks replace main meals), and personal care products (petroleum jelly healing for burns, skin wounds dry; moisturizing gel) …

To make these products, Pharmaceutical Engineering students are equipped skills and knowledge to:

• Discover, invent, design, identify and synthesis of substances bioactive effects; metabolism studies, explain their mechanism of action at the molecular level;
• Build the relationships between structure and biological effect or pharmacological effect (known as SAR) and quantitative relationships between structure and biological effect or pharmacological effect (called QSAR).

Being one of 4 main industries of HCMC, there are great opportunities for pharmaceutical engineers in career market. However, to create a competitive advantage for themselves, students do not only need to have a solid professional knowledge, but also be proficient in English and work skills, lifelong learning skills to keep up the pace of development world of Pharmaceutical Chemistry.
