Bachelor in Pharmacy

This 5 years program is taught in English at Istanbul Health and Technology University in İstanbul, Turkey. Pharmacy focuses on the science of medicines, covering how drugs are formulated, how they act in the body, and how they are safely dispensed and used by patients. Coursework includes pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutical technology, toxicology, biochemistry, and clinical pharmacy practice, supported by laboratory work in compounding, formulation, and drug analysis. Students learn to evaluate prescriptions, counsel patients on medication use, and understand drug interactions and the regulatory requirements that govern the manufacture and distribution of pharmaceutical products. Later coursework often includes supervised practice in community or hospital pharmacy settings, where students apply classroom knowledge to real patient interactions and dispensing procedures under professional supervision. The program also introduces the business and management side of running a pharmacy, including inventory control and patient record keeping. Graduates typically work as licensed pharmacists in community or hospital pharmacies, or pursue roles in pharmaceutical manufacturing, quality control, and drug research. Studying at Istanbul Health and Technology University places students in İstanbul, giving access to the wider academic and professional environment of the city while completing a program structured around the standard progression expected for this field. Over the course of the 5 years program, students move from foundational coursework toward more applied and specialized study, building toward the bachelor qualification awarded on completion at Istanbul Health and Technology University.
