The School of Pharmacy is committed to providing an undergraduate program of quality and excellence that will produce individuals who will contribute significantly in all settings of pharmacy practice.

Students studying towards the B.Sc.(Pharmacy) degree will acquire a background in the mathematical and physical sciences, and humanities. Following this, students will receive an extensive education in pharmacy and the cognate health sciences and intensive practice experience.

The program of study leading to the B.Sc.(Pharmacy) has two phases and requires at least five years to complete.

Upon receiving the degree, graduates will qualify to write the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada examination. After successful completion of these examinations and an appropriate period of practice experience, graduates will qualify to apply for a license to practice pharmacy in Newfoundland and Labrador. They will also be eligible to apply for registration to practice in other jurisdictions in Canada.

Graduates of the program will be qualified to enter graduate studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland or elsewhere, subject to the usual entrance requirements. The School of Pharmacy at MUN offers graduate programs at both the Masters, M.Sc (Pharm) and Doctoral, Ph.D. level.

The School of Pharmacy is located on the Memorial University Campus, in the Health Sciences Centre together with the Faculty of Medicine, The School of Nursing and the General Hospital. This setting is unique for pharmacy programs in Canada.
