We seek to produce graduates of UK standards and to provide the best healthcare needed not only for Egypt, and for the wider region, but also internationally.

We have a high calibre staff with a strong background in UK pharmaceutical education. The programme is also supported by skilled Teaching Assistants from leading universities.

About:
Faculty of Pharmacy offers 2 unique programmes with a British style of education of the highest quality:
Pharm D ( 5 studying years + 1 Internship year )
Pharm D- Clinical (5 studying years + 1 Internship year)
Pharmacy is the clinical health science that links medical sciences with chemistry and is responsible for the discovery, production, control, disposal, safe and effective use of drugs and control of medications and drugs. Clinical pharmacy requires other skills, e.g. knowledge about the acquisition and evaluation of physical and laboratory data.
The pharmacist is “a person prepared to formulate, dispense, and provide clinical information on drugs or medications to health professionals and patients.” A pharmacist is a member of a health care team, who plays a key role in providing quality healthcare and pharmaceutical care to the public. They are experts in medicines and use their clinical expertise, together with formulation, quality control, and practical knowledge, to ensure the safe supply and use of medicines.
To be effective healthcare team members and pharmaceutical care providers, pharmacists need skills and attitudes enabling them to conduct many different functions. For this reason, the concept of the “Seven-star pharmacist” was introduced by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2014 and covered these roles: Caregiver, decision-maker, communicator, manager, life-long learner, teacher, and leader. In addition to the main role of a pharmacist as a researcher in the field of pharmaceutical and medical sciences.
If you are interested in a healthcare career, but not sure which path to take; the following are among the most common reasons that encourage you to choose to pursue a career in pharmacy over other healthcare professions.
