Presentation

The complementary Masters in Industrial Pharmacy is the route taken by those wishing to acquire the status of a qualified person (A.R. 14 December 2006 relating to Drugs for Human and Veterinary Use, article 84). To obtain this official recognition from the Minister for Public Health, the degree must be completed, for those holding a pharmacy degree or a degree with equivalent competences (See. Particular conditions), with 6 months of practical experience in one or more pharmaceutical companies which hold authorisation for the industrial manufacture of drugs according to the conditions set out in A.R. of 14 August 1989.


Le Master complémentaire en pharmacie d'industrie prépare à des tâches conventionnelles de fabrication et d'analyse des médicaments. Le programme intègre également des cours dans des domaines d'actualités tels que la biotechnologie, les affaires réglementaires, l'assurance de qualité, les aspects économiques du médicament, les essais cliniques.
Un programme interuniversitaire impliquant l'ULB, L'UCL et l'ULg a été créé à cette fin en 1997.


Conditions particulières

A qualified person is someone who is legally responsible for the pharmaceutical activities of a permit holder; they must be registered on an up-to-date list. Request for registration on this list, accompanied by the required supporting documentation, must be addressed to the Minister.

Only those holding the legal degree of Industrial Pharmacist or the complementary Masters in Industrial Pharmacy, obtained in line with the legislation on the awarding of academic grades and the University exam programme, or those who are legally exempt, can be registered as qualified persons (without additional requirements).

Holders of a degree in pharmacy, medicine, veterinary medicine, chemistry, biology or biomedical sciences may also be approved as qualified persons, provided they demonstrate having a theoretical and practical academic level for at least the following basic subjects :

  • Experimental physics ;
  • General and inorganic chemistry ;
  • Organic chemistry ;
  • Analytical chemistry ;
  • Pharmaceutical chemistry, including drug analysis ;
  • General and applied biochemistry (medical) ;
  • Physiology ;
  • Microbiology ;
  • Pharmacology ;
  • Pharmaceutical technology ;
  • Toxicology ;
  • Pharmacognosy


For further information about the basic contents, see the programme of the Bachelor in Pharmaceutical sciences :
http://progcours.ulg.ac.be/cocoon/programmes/MBPHAR01.html and the Master in Pharmaceutical sciences :
http://progcours.ulg.ac.be/cocoon/programmes/TUR_MMPHARMA.html.

In addition, these persons have to proove that they are qualified and that they have taken theoretical and practical courses of an academic level about the following subjects :

  • In-depth knowledge in anlysis of quality control,
  • In-depth knowledge in pharmaceutical biotechnology,
  • In-depth knowledge in pharmaceutical technology, including validation and GMP standards,
  • Specific knowledge in legislation applicable to pharmaceutical industry,
  • In-depth knowledge of the grant conditions of the Regulation of therapeutic goods.


Ces connaissances sont dispensées dans le cadre du Master complémentaire en pharmacie d'industrie.


Reconnaissance officielle par le ministère de la Santé publique en Belgique

  • Citizens of another State of the European Union who hold an equivalent degree may also be recognized on the same criteria.
  • The applicant of approval has to prove that he/she has acquired a practical experience of at least two years full time in one or several companies located in Belgium who are holders of an authorization to manufacture drugs. The experience acquired in a company established in another Member State may also be taken into account.


  • This experience must focus on the qualitative analysis of drugs, the quantitative analysis of active substances, the manufacturing of controls "in process". Its duration can be reduced by one year when the university course lasts for at least five years and by one year and a half when the training cycle lasts at least six years, that is to say, after the Advanced Master in Industry Pharmacy.
  • The practice experience mus be certified by the person responsible for the placement.


Duration

  • One year of study, with the possibility of spreading the programme over two years after a recommendation supplied by the Jury of the host university.
