Currently, the department offers three programs: B. Pharm, M. Pharm in Pharmaceutical Technology, and M. Pharm in Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacology (both Thesis and Non-Thesis). All programs are top-ranked among public and private universities in Bangladesh.

Our facilities span over 39,000 square feet and include modern classrooms, state-of-the-art laboratories, and a collection of over 40,000 pharmacy-related resources.

We train students in practical skills, including drug formulation (tablets, syrups, creams, etc.), quality control, impurity analysis, stability testing, and more. Our curriculum emphasizes inter-professional collaboration and therapeutic decision-making.

With a dedicated team of experienced faculty and top-tier lab infrastructure, we remain committed to preparing our students to become future leaders in healthcare and pharmaceutical innovation.
