The Global Master's Programme in Translational Physiology and Pharmacology gives students an integrated knowledge of human physiology, pathology, and pharmacology with emphasis on mechanism-based therapies and drug development in a truly translational approach. The obtained skill set at the crossing of academia, applied science and industry is key to understanding human diseases and their treatments rendering the students attractive and highly employable with the utmost potential to improve global health.

The Global Master's Programme in Translational Physiology and Pharmacology focuses on the thematic and practical integration of the two disciplines physiology and pharmacology towards a translational approach combining molecular mechanisms of bodily functions and disease with a whole-body-oriented understanding. The curriculum offers broad knowledge in translational aspects of physiology and pharmacology as well as practical skills in state-of-the-art methodology and know-how. Teaching takes place in an international and world-leading research environment at Karolinska Institutet providing outstanding laboratory training, means of scientific communication, networking opportunities with pharma- and biotech industry as well as further opportunities for academic research careers.

While the first part of the programme focuses mostly on theoretical knowledge, the second part emphasises the practical applicability of the learned skills in preclinical laboratories, as well as clinical or industrial settings. The programme is characterised by close collaboration with pharma- and biotech companies providing supervision and secondments for project work. The programme offers ample opportunities through elective courses and individual projects and thesis work to gain broad knowledge as well as creating the foundation for a niched expertise. Throughout the two-year programme integration of knowledge and skills is emphasised to foster a mindset of translating molecular and mechanistic understanding from basic research to novel therapy.
