## Programme Description

Pharmacy education embraces the search, development, formulation, analysis, storage
and distribution of products for maintenance and restoration of good health as well
as provision of information and guidance on proper use of medicines. We believe 
that students should not be viewed as empty vessels to be filled by their teachers.
In Contrary, the teaching-learning process should involve and capture the learner’s
participation as far as it is possible. Students learn by diverse styles and therefore
diverse teaching methods should be used to meet these diverse learning needs. Learning
takes place best in an optimum educational environment and climate, which fosters,
encourages and inculcates a lifelong learning habit. The pre -requisite Competencies
and objectives should be well spelt and structured to achieve the desired learning
outcomes. Bachelor of Pharmacy Programme therefore aims to equip the graduate pharmacist
with adequate skills to enable him function as an expert in clinical pharmaceutical
care, drug discovery and development as well as a researcher in overall pharmaceutical
sciences
