What our students say...

i

Professionals who Hand out Advice, Not Just Drugs

Pharmacy is a multidisciplinary subject, covering a wide range of fields such as pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacy practice and law, biochemistry, and herbal medicines, etc., and a pharmacist does a lot more than distributing prescribed drugs: they advise patients, doctors, and nurses on drug use and dosage, as well as engage in research and pharmaceutical production. This programme prepares graduates for a successful career in any healthcare setting by emphasizing problem solving, decision making, critical and creative thinking built upon a strong foundation of basic knowledge and skills.

Global view of pharmacy practice

Practical training, clinical clerkships, community and outreach programmes, as well as other forms of experiential learning, are an integral part of the curriculum. The School ensures that every pharmacist-to-be is equipped to face real-life workplace challenge. Students also have the opportunity to participate in overseas pharmacy exchange programmes.
