The Bachelor of Pharmacy program at Dubai Medical University spans four and half years with 160 credit hours. It combines foundational sciences, pharmaceutical studies, professional skills, and experiential practice.
Years 1–2 build a base in biomedical sciences: anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, and pharmaceutics. General education in communication, technology, psychology, and culture is integrated. Early exposure to pharmacy includes law, ethics, and public health. Laboratory sessions reinforce theoretical knowledge with practical skills.
By Year 2, students complete Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience I in community pharmacies.
Years 3–4 focus on integrated pharmacotherapy modules blending pathophysiology, pharmacology, chemistry, and therapy. Supporting subjects include pharmacokinetics, pharmacoeconomics, pharmacovigilance, genetics, and immunology. Case-based learning and simulations enhance decision-making and teamwork skills. Hospital-based IPPE II follows in Year 3. Electives allow exploration of specialized pharmacy or science topics. Graduates emerge as competent pharmacists, prepared for licensure and diverse healthcare, academic, regulatory, or industry roles.
