The curriculum structure includes a study plan, scholarships, and a brief curriculum. The program emphasizes the integration and application of cosmetic science knowledge for research production or innovation creation, with a focus on analyzing empirical evidence for consumer protection, underlining the importance of knowledge paired with virtue.

The significance of the program is threefold: to update the curriculum according to the national higher education qualifications framework of 2009 and the graduate curriculum standards of 2015; to modernize the curriculum in line with advancements in cosmetic science; and to meet the demands of public, private, and state enterprise sectors.

Graduates are prepared for careers as researchers and developers in companies producing or distributing cosmetic products, natural extracts, or chemical products for cosmetics; as consultants in the use of cosmetic products, natural extracts, or chemical products in both public institutions and private companies; and as educators or scientists in educational institutions, scientific institutes, and health sciences.

Expected learning outcomes (ELOs) include adherence to academic and research ethics; integration of knowledge in cosmetic science and related fields; application of new or extended knowledge to create innovations in cosmetic science, leading to lifelong learning; production of research work in cosmetic science both theoretically and practically, with national or international publication; accurate analysis and synthesis of academic data; teamwork and responsibility; statistical or mathematical skills for data analysis and interpretation; and effective communication in writing and presentations.

Application for admission involves a selection exam for graduates with a bachelor's or master's degree seeking further studies at the master's or doctoral level across various disciplines. The Graduate School and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences organize the exams throughout the academic year for admission in the first or second semester. Additional details and applicant qualifications can be found at the Graduate School, Naresuan University.
