In 1977, the Faculty of Pharmacy with the Division of Medical Analytics was established, however, there was no initial recruitment until 1987, when the first group of students began their studies at the Faculty of Pharmacy with the Division of Medical Analytics. The first theoretical science departments were housed adjacent to the palace in Collegium Primum (Figure 2), and in the second year of existence the University obtained the right to confer scientific degrees.
