Key Summary

About: The Bachelor in Pharmacy prepares students for a career in pharmaceutical sciences, emphasizing subjects like pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, and drug delivery systems. The program equips students with the skills needed to understand the interaction between drugs and biological systems, focusing on both theoretical and practical aspects of pharmacy practice.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue various paths, including roles as pharmacists, pharmaceutical scientists, regulatory affairs specialists, or in drug research and development. Additional opportunities exist in healthcare settings, academia, and pharmaceutical sales.

Revisions to the School Education Law and Pharmacist Law extended the period of study for the education of pharmacists from four years to six years, starting in April 2006. In light of this new system, the Department of Bio-Pharmacy was absorbed into the Department of Pharmacy within the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

With the advancement of medical care, the continuing development of specialization, and the ongoing separation of dispensary from medical practice has come the need for pharmacists to move from their traditional role of simply filling prescriptions to taking a more active role in the provision of medical care. In response to the demands of the times, the reform of the pharmaceutical education system is intended to create a system that trains pharmacists who can take a valuable part in medical care.
