Introduction
A pharmacist is a professional scientist who possesses the skills in all aspects relating to the design, development, delivery, supply, control and the usage of drugs. The School is currently using an integrated approach in teaching and learning as pharmacists need to acquire a broad range of scientific education. The International Program Bachelor of Pharmacy degree correlates scientific findings with a strong foundation of core science courses.
The students will expand their knowledge in physiology, microbiology, medicinal chemistry (drug chemistry), pharmaceutics (drug formulation to produce safe and effective medication), pharmacology (drug action on the body), clinical pharmacy (covering the knowledge on diseases and how drugs or medicines are chosen to treat and/or prevent certain diseases), and social and administrative pharmacy (economy, behaviour and drug policy).
