About the institute
The Institute of Pharmacy at the University of Tartu is the only institution in Estonia providing higher education and training for pharmacists.
The mission of the Institute is to advance the pharmaceutical sciences by conducting a high-standard research work and research-based education of MSc(Pharm) and PhD(Pharm) students.
The students in Pharmacy will get unique competencies that no other specialist has. The teaching in the Institute of Pharmacy is focused on the properties of medicines, their development, preparation, storage, analysis and use.
The medicine-based thinking plays an important role in the teaching and learning, i.e. the learning focuses not only on pharmaceutical subjects but also on anatomy, genetics and much more. In addition to theoretical subjects, all students participate also in pharmacy practice.
The University of Tartu was ranked in the 101–150 range in Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences in the Shanghai Ranking (ARWU) in 2019, and in the 251–300 range in Pharmacy & Pharmacology in the QS University Rankings by Subjects in 2018.
The high position of Pharmacy in the Academic Ranking of World Universities list is partially explained by our active national and international research collaboration and networking. Today, the Institute of Pharmacy participates in the
- NordForsk researcher network (Nordic POP),
- Horizon 2020 EUROAGEISM project,
- COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) research network,
