Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry

PROGRAMME EMPHASIS

The Pharmacy and Medical Biochemistry Master Programs are five-year programs focused on basic biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences and basic biomedical and medical biochemistry sciences. The Master of Pharmacy program aims to educate students in designing, developing, and delivering safe medications, emphasizing problem-solving, critical thinking, and the latest scientific findings. The Master of Medical Biochemistry program trains students to examine human life in health and disease from chemical, biochemical, and molecular-biological aspects, preparing them to diagnose diseases and follow treatment. The PhD program in Pharmaceutical-Biochemical Sciences aims to prepare independent scientists for academia and research institutions.

CAREER PROSPECTS

The pharmaceutical industry (research, development, production, control, and marketing of drugs), the Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices, research and educational institutions, and drug distribution businesses are just a few of the pharmaceutical careers that students are prepared for in today's modern educational, research, and practice settings. The health care system, including medical-biochemistry laboratories in primary care, polyclinics, hospitals, and clinical hospital centers, research and academic institutions, bio-research companies, and diagnostic product distribution companies, are the principal employment destinations for Masters of Medical Biochemistry.

RESEARCH ORIENTATION

Basic, biomedical, pharmaceutical, and medical biochemistry sciences (drug development, drug delivery, nanotechnology, pharmacogenomics, chronic diseases, glycobiology, pharmabiotics, drug resistance, food and diet therapy, biomedical potential of natural resources, pharmaceutical analysis) are among the fields in which the research conducted is of the highest caliber globally and is at the forefront of the field.

Faculty of Veterinary Medicine

PROGRAMME EMPHASIS

The six-year, twelve-semester Integrated Undergraduate and Graduate University Study in Veterinary Medicine program has a total of 360 ECTS. It provides a thorough curriculum that complies with EU Directive 2005/36/EC and the Bologna system. The instructional strategies comply with EHEA regulations. In the first three years, preclinical and basic courses are taught to students. The final three years are devoted to public health and clinical courses. Through particular optional courses, students obtain additional skills and knowledge depending on the track they choose in the 10th semester (Companion Animals, Farm Animals and Horses, or Food Hygiene, Technology, and Veterinary Public Health).

CAREER PROSPECTS

Our main goal is to prepare veterinarians to operate in a variety of settings, including food production and industry, public health, farm management, veterinary medicine, and much more. A VEF UNIZG diploma is accepted across the EU, and our graduates find employment both domestically and abroad.

RESEARCH ORIENTATION

An essential component of the Veterinary Faculty's operations is research. The majority of research funding comes from national and international programs, with some money coming from partnerships with the business community. In addition to fundamental scientific endeavors, applied initiatives are developed to address issues and meet the requirements of local government bodies, farmers, and the national economy. The faculty intends to focus its research efforts in the upcoming time on Horizon 2020 financing (H2020).

School of Medicine

PROGRAMME EMPHASIS

The University of Zagreb School of Medicine offers a six-year medical studies curriculum, integrating undergraduate and graduate levels. The curriculum includes mandatory premedical courses, four major professional courses, and electives. The school integrates public health and health management courses early, focusing on practical teaching methods like seminars and clinical audits. Pre-medical courses introduce students to the physical, chemical, and biological basis of life, while clinical courses focus on diseases, detection, prevention, and therapy. Public health courses cover environmental and social health factors, physician roles, research methods, statistics, and medical informatics. Professional ethics are also covered throughout the course.

CAREER PROSPECTS

The future demand for physicians presents a challenge to the educational system, as they are increasingly sought after in various medical fields. Graduates from the University of Zagreb School of Medicine primarily focus on general practice but also apply for residency positions in specialty fields. Some graduates work in research, teaching, pharmaceutical companies, and public health. Graduate nursing studies aim to enhance the research, managerial, training, and professional skills of qualified nurses.

RESEARCH ORIENTATION

The University of Zagreb School of Medicine is a leading academic institution in Croatia, publishing around 20% of all Croatian research publications and over 40% of all medical research publications. The school, along with Rijeka and Split Schools of Medicine, owns the Croatian Medical Journal with an impact factor of 1.247. Key research areas include reproductive medicine, regenerative medicine, bone morphogenetic proteins, neuroscience, neuroanatomy, hematological malignancies, congenital metabolic diseases, clinical endocrinology, diabetes, and gynecological ultrasound.

School of Dental Medicine

PROGRAMME EMPHASIS

Studies in dentistry are very different from those in general medicine, which is why their significance is now widely acknowledged. With a few exceptions, dental medicine research is typically conducted in independent dental schools across the globe. Beginning with the 2005–2006 academic year, dentistry study programs are conducted in compliance with the Bologna Declaration. Students acquire information from basic biomedical courses, medical clinical courses, and basic and clinical dentistry courses over the six-year integrated master's program. Every Dental School graduate is given a diploma at graduation that designates them as a "Doctor of Dental Medicine."

CAREER PROSPECTS

In general practice, the majority of dentists operate as independent contractors, seeing patients in private or public settings. Other alternatives include working in corporate practices, industry, community dentistry, hospitals, universities, and research and teaching departments.

RESEARCH ORIENTATION

The School of Dental Medicine has a long history of conducting research. Every department conducts research as well as working with research facilities like the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Zagreb. Research is also conducted under EU Framework programs (FP6, FP7) and within research initiatives funded by the Croatian Science Foundation.
