[History and Goals of the Six-Year System at Tokushima University]

The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Tokushima University, which had a two-department system, was unified into a six-year system in 2021. Based on our experience with the two-department system, we have continued to provide our original courses to foster a research mindset, and we have established new courses to nurture leading pharmacists. We believe that the faculty's passion for research and education is the key to the success of the six-year system.
