Bachelor of Science (Pharmacy)
The bachelor of science (pharmacy) program is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to become competent pharmacy professionals prepared to work in a variety of settings, including: community pharmacy and hospital environments; pharmaceutical industries; government and pharmacy associations; or to undertake advanced training in clinical practice and research. The bachelor of science (pharmacy) degree requires a minimum of five years of university study (one year before and four years after admission to the School of Pharmacy). The degree is required to be licensed as a pharmacist.
The school, together with the General Hospital, the Janeway Child Health and Rehabilitation Centre, the Faculty of Medicine and the School of Nursing, is located in the Health Sciences Centre. This setting is unique in Canada and provides an ideal situation for education in pharmacy.
