Programme Overview
Pharmacy integrates the art and science of the preparation and standardization of drugs. An interdisciplinary field that connects the health sciences with the chemical sciences, it has a wide scope spanning the cultivation of medicinal plants, synthesis of chemical compounds of medicinal value, and analysis of medicinal agents.
As a profession, Pharmacists dispense medications, offer advice on safe use of prescriptions and conduct health and wellness screenings among other roles. Reflecting contemporary Pharmacy education trends, the Programme has been developed in consultation with practitioners from all areas of Pharmacy.
The Programme emphasizes problem solving, critical thinking, and patient-focused content and experiential opportunities across the breadth of practice.
