The Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) is a four year full-time (semester system) course of Purbanchal University designed to provide students with comprehensive and practical training for a career in pharmacy.Structured with an emphasis on research, clinical & industrial experience and interaction with the public, the BPharm equips students with a range of skills required for effective pharmacy practice. It extends beyond traditional approaches to pharmacy education by shifting the focus from drug chemistry and delivery to incorporate issues such as how drugs are developed, how patients use them, and how pharmacists can optimise patient care through interaction with other health professionals.
Developed in consultation with leading pharmacists, the degree reflects the needs of contemporary and future pharmacy practice. It places emphasis on the development of independent and critical thinking, stresses the importance of professionalism and ethical practice, and develops practical skills in analysis, problem solving and information management.
A dissertation in the final year of study consolidates research and analytical skills, while training placements enables students to gain experience in appropriate clinical/industrial settings under the guidance of experienced pharmacists.
