Message From Chairman
Pharmacy is considered a multidisciplinary subject that not only emphasizes and/or ensures every aspect of quality medicines and their safe and rational uses but is also closely related to other branches of science like chemistry, public health, physiology, botany, natural sciences, and so on. In today's world, proper knowledge and appropriate use of medicines are mandatory for rapid recovery from various conventional and ever-new diseases that ultimately raising the demand for highly qualified and professionally competent pharmacists. In this regard, the Department of Pharmacy in Islamic University, Kushtia was established in 2017 with the aim of engendering contemporary future pharmacists having specific knowledge, skills attitudes, and behaviors in support of their professional roles and ethics.
Initially, 4 years (8 semesters) Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharm.) and 1.5 years (3 semesters) Masters of Pharmacy (M. Pharm.) is conducted under the department. At the Bachelor level, students are taught basic knowledge of core courses like Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Analysis, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology, Biopharmaceutics, Cosmeticology, Physiology & Anatomy, BioMolecular Pharmacy, Biotechnology and some related courses as basic Mathematics, English, Statistics, Marketing, and Management. and, at Masters's level, students gather the advanced knowledge of core courses with an emphasis on a research-based curriculum that will enable student to carry out independent research in their future life.
Finally, we hope to generate pharmacists who will serve mankind through their vast knowledge of medicines and will bring out new epochs for the betterment of medical sciences through their research activities.
