The study of pharmacy is mainly concerned with the action of drugs on biological systems and their applications for human drug therapy. The program prepares graduates for the contemporary role of the pharmacist in society ensuring that patients optimize medication usage. Initial courses on chemical, physical, and biological studies lead to professional specialties in later years. Practical and clinical science studies begin in first year, providing students with a strong background in professional practice. The program integrates six streams of study: quality use of medication; dosage form design; social and professional aspects of pharmacy; drug discovery; biological fate of drugs; and data analysis in pharmacy.

The program aims to prepare pharmacist professionals with the highest possible technical and managerial competence in area of pharmaceutical science and technology, research, and care and services. The graduates will have the opportunity to equip themselves for their role in various pharmacy disciplines – public health, community, hospital and clinical, industries, academia, logistics and supply, care and services, information dissemination, and regulation at different levels. HOPE is committed to providing quality pharmacy education to our students by involving qualified, motivated and experienced faculty throughout class, bench and field teaching and in building required technical and managerial competencies in them. The strengths at HOPE are the enjoyment of teaching and learning environment, extracurricular involvement, hands-on and problem-based approach in inculcating professional values in students.

In recent times, there is a great demand for quality pharmacy personnel in some of the above mentioned specialties. Along with growth in number of pharmacy professionals, more opportunities in other specialties particularly the hospital and clinical pharmacy is gradually opening up. These are the areas of focus for this decade. Integration of the approach of pharmaceutical care and service in health care delivery at all level in public and private has been a promising opportunity for pharmacy professionals. Future pharmacists will have to position themselves for greater responsibility in delivering a balanced and complete health care product matching the changing requirements of the society.
