School of Pharmacy

B.Pharma (Bachelor of Pharmacy) is a 4-year undergraduate curriculum that provides students with a comprehensive understanding of pharmaceutical science. The curriculum includes courses such as medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, and pharmacognosy. Students study drug formulation, quality control, and pharmaceutical management. This degree prepares students for positions in pharmaceutical research, production, quality assurance, and clinical pharmacy. B.Pharma also serves as a basis for further education in pharmacy and related professions.

M.Pharma. in Pharmaceutics is a 2-year postgraduate degree program developed for pharmacy graduates looking to expand their knowledge of drug formulation, development, and delivery methods. The curriculum includes topics including pharmaceutical technology, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, medication stability, and quality control. This curriculum trains graduates to work in pharmaceutical research and development, drug manufacturing, quality assurance, and regulatory affairs. Graduates get career opportunities to work in pharmaceutical businesses, or research institutions, or pursue advanced academic studies such as a Ph.D. The course provides students with the ability to innovate in medication delivery techniques and contribute to advances in pharmaceutical science.

B.Pharma. Lateral Entry is a program that allows diploma holders in pharmacy to directly enter the 2nd year of a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharma.) degree. This pathway typically reduces the overall duration of the B.Pharma. program from 3-4 years for eligible candidates. Lateral entry students join regular B.Pharma. students in their 2nd year and complete the remaining 3 years of the course. The curriculum covers advanced pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, and practical training. Admission is usually based on merit in the diploma program or through entrance exams conducted by universities or pharmacy councils. This option provides an accelerated route for diploma holders to upgrade their qualifications and enhance their career prospects in the pharmaceutical industry.

M.Pharma. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry is a postgraduate program typically spanning 2 years, designed for pharmacy graduates seeking advanced knowledge in drug design, synthesis, and analysis. The curriculum encompasses subjects like medicinal chemistry, drug metabolism, analytical techniques, and pharmaceutical research methodologies. Students engage in laboratory work, and research projects, and often complete a dissertation. This program equips graduates with skills for careers in pharmaceutical research, drug development, quality control, and academia. Coursework may include advanced organic chemistry, spectroscopy, pharmacokinetics, and drug discovery processes. Graduates are well-prepared for roles in pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, or pursuing further academic studies like Ph.D. programs in related fields.

Master of Pharmacy (M.Pharm) in Pharmacology is a 2-year postgraduate program designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and skills in the science of drugs and their effects on biological systems. This course covers a range of topics, including pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and drug development. Students engage in practical laboratory work, research projects, and internships, fostering practical experience in pharmaceutical research and clinical settings. Graduates are prepared for careers in academia, research institutions, regulatory agencies, and the pharmaceutical industry, contributing to drug discovery, development, and safety evaluation. This program enhances critical thinking and analytical skills essential for advancing pharmaceutical sciences.
