They were under the professional supervision of the Rector of Charles University and the Dean and professors of the Faculty of Medicine. There was a one-year pharmacy course, and from 1834 a two-year course, They studied at more than one faculty: at the Faculty of Arts, and the Faculty of Natural Sciences; but the ‘end of ther study was always held atthe Faculty of Medicine, From 1948 there was a four-year cour- se, but it was cancelled in 1950 and transferred to Masaryk University in Brno. It ed to the establish- ‘ment ofthe Faculty of Pharmacy in Bro and Bratislava in 1952. ‘The Faculty of Pharmacy, with its seat in the town of Hradec Krilové, was established by a govern- ‘ment decree in 1969, The Faculty of Pharmacy has continued in the old and long-time tradition ofthe education of pharmacy at Charles University. 1.2 Undergraduate Study ‘The academic year begins on October 1* and it consists ofthe winter and summer terms/semesters. Each term/semester consists of fourteen weeks of clases which are followed by a four to five week ‘examination period.

The couse of studies is concluded by passing the Final State Examinations and by the successful defence of an undergraduate's degree pap. Finally, the graduate is awarded the aca- demic degree of Magister (Mgr) atthe graduation ceremony. ‘The concept ofthe programme corresponds withthe contemporary state and standard of pharmaceuti- cal sciences, the needs ofthe pharmaceutical practice in the European context, and it ereates a base for Postgraduate studies, the course of study that enables one to yield deeper scientific education in a spe- cial branch, 1.3 Postgraduate (Doctoral) Studies Graduates of the studies of pharmacy or of some related discipline (e., Faculty of Medicine or Natural Sciences) can apply for admission tothe thre-year internal or five-year external course of postgraduate doctoral studies. The conditions for admission to postgraduate study are the successful ‘completion of the entrance examination, and atleast one professional publication, ‘The PhD studies involve scientific work in a selected research project under the supervision of distn- guished teachers of the Faculty of Pharmacy. The postgraduate course of studies is completed by passing «examinations in theoretical topics related tothe appropriate research projec, and by writing and defending a doctoral dissertation.
