Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences
Master of Pharmacy Study Program

Summary of the Study Program

The Master of Pharmacy Study Program (PSFPM) of Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) is a study program established in 2021 based on the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia No. 110/E/0/2021. The establishment of PSFPM UII is motivated by the high demand for pharmacy graduates with master’s competencies to become educators, researchers, policy makers in the government, and practitioners in health facilities or the pharmaceutical industry. The existence of PSFPM UII will also improve the quality and quantity of research results and outputs in the field of pharmacy and further increase the benefits for the broader community.

The education at PSFPM is designed to prepare master of pharmacy graduates who excel in the development of pharmaceutical preparations, pharmaceutical services, and education based on big data utilization that supports policy-making and improvement of service quality in health facilities. Global transformation in the era of Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 poses challenges, including in the health sector, where big data utilization and the Internet of Things (IoT) have changed the healthcare system. Online patient data storage, disease projection, and treatment coverage or distribution are made possible through big data processing. Therefore, the role of pharmacists and researchers in the health sector may be reduced by innovative applications that will be immediately present in society. Such changes are anticipated by PSFPM UII by preparing graduates who can keep up with the times and are ready to contribute and provide benefits in line with the PRIME graduate profile (Practitioner, Researcher, and Life Long Learner, Islamic Behavior and International Orientation, Manager, and Entrepreneur Educator and Effective Communicator).
