Post 5: Changes to my Study Programme

For a long time, I questioned some things about the study program of my major, such as some subjects, and the intermediate practice.

My major is chemistry and pharmacy, a scientific major focused on the chemistry and biology, for this I do not understand why mechanics and electromagnetism are in our program.

Mechanics and electromagnetism are part of science, I know this, but I do not understand what the purpose is of integrating them into the program of a major like chemistry and pharmacy, I have not used almost any of the knowledge that it has given me apart from passing the subject.

I know people from other majors that use the knowledge provided by these subjects, such as vectors, but this is because they have other subjects, such as advanced calculus, a subject that we do not have in chemistry and pharmacy.

Others subjects, such as cell biology, organic chemistry or calculus, are very important, and I recognized this importance, many of it knowledge are used over the rest of the major and in the professional field.

I agree with having an intermediate practice to experience what it is to work in a pharmacy, but I do not feel sufficiently prepared for the practice with the knowledge I have obtained from the subjects so far, I would like at least one subject about medicament before doing the intermediate practice.
