Academic Structure

The B.Pharm curriculum is built around three broad areas: basic sciences, basic medical sciences, and pharmaceutical sciences.

Basic sciences include areas such as inorganic pharmaceutical chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and mathematics. Basic medical sciences cover anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, and pathophysiology.

Pharmaceutical study extends into pharmaceutical chemistry and instrumental analysis, pharmacognosy and natural products, pharmacology and pharmacotherapeutics, hospital and clinical pharmacy, community pharmacy, physical pharmacy, pharmaceutics, and dosage-form design. These subjects connect the scientific study of medicines with their formulation, analysis, dispensing, distribution, and use in health-care settings.
