The Master’s Degree in Research in and Rational Use of Medicines is set in the area of Health Sciences
The Master’s student profiles correspond to people who have previously completed degrees in the field of health sciences and who wish to finish their training by taking a Master’s oriented towards the medicaments, for research and for the creation of new medicaments or for promoting the rational use of the already authorised medicaments.
Groups of potential students are the following:

• Graduates already in the professional world, not only from the Valencian Community, but from any European, American or Asian country.
• Graduating students, not only from any university of the Valencian Community, but also from Spain and Latin America universities, basically. Although the Undergraduate Degree empowers for practising a professional activity, it doesn’t exist any specialisation that covers the training that the students get with this Master’s.
• Graduates at the specialisation stage in health institutions, via MIR, FIR,...as this complements the training obtained during the specialisation period.
