Department of Pharmaceutics

Welcome to the Department

Welcome to the Department of Pharmaceutics, established in 2004, the core hub of formulation science, drug delivery innovation, and industrial pharmacy. Our department bridges the gap between discovering a raw therapeutic molecule and transforming it into a safe, stable, and highly effective medication for patient use.

We offer comprehensive academic programs across undergraduate (B. Pharm), postgraduate in Pharmaceutics (M. Pharm), and doctoral levels (Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics). Our curriculum combines rigorous theoretical knowledge with advanced practical training to prepare the next generation of global pharmaceutical leaders.

Through cutting-edge research, hands-on laboratory training, and a future-focused curriculum, we equip students with the skills required to lead the global pharmaceutical industry.
