In Spain, pharmacists can choose from more than 50 different career opportunities ranging from healthcare (Community Pharmacy, Hospital Pharmacy, or Primary Care), industry (Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics, or Food), service companies (CROs), health administration (Public Health), clinical analysis, teaching, and research and innovation (R&D&i).
Career opportunities
In the IQS-Blanquerna Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy, students engage in more than 1,000 hours of laboratory work starting in the very first year and, from the 4th year, the curriculum establishes the completion of external internships worth 36 ECTS.
External internships are the first contact students have with the labour market and are conducted across the different specialties of the profession. Moreover, a high percentage of graduates find work thanks to their internships.
The supervised practicums are divided into two subjects that students take separately: Supervised Practicum-I (12 ECTS) and Supervised Practicum-II (12 ECTS). To start the first practicum, a student must have passed a minimum of 198 ECTS.
The ordinary schedule for Supervised Practicum-II runs from 7 January to 5 April and the ordinary schedule for Supervised Practicum-I runs from 2 May to 31 July.
The objective of these practicums is for students to acquire the necessary training to carry out the specific activities of their profession in the field of pharmacy care. In accordance with current regulations, these practicums can be carried out in a community pharmacy open to the public and/or in a hospital under the supervision of the pharmacy service.
The joint oversight committee, formed by representatives from IQS and Blanquerna, the Department of Health, and the Board of the Association of Pharmacists of Catalonia, has prepared the document that establishes the organizational model as well as the teaching guide for the supervised practicums of the Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy.
