At the Pharmacy Department of the Nelson Mandela University, we take pride in our ability to transfer our expertise in all sectors of pharmacy to our students. We are mostly proud of the clinical pharmacy skills that our graduates attain. We have strong relationships with industry partners, this gives students a unique glimpse into the world of pharmaceutical manufacturing. Along with these clinical and technical skills, teamwork, compassion and care for our fellow man are instilled.
Welcome to our department, we look forward to walking the BPharm journey with you.
The Department of Pharmacy is situated on the South Campus of the Nelson Mandela University.
The programme shall extend over at least four academic years of full-time study.
Once you have completed the Degree, you are required to complete a year of internship followed by a year of community service in order to register as a Pharmacist with the South African Pharmacy Council.
You can also do your masters later after working as a pharmacist. If you are interested in furthering your studies, you can apply for a master’s in pharmacy which is a research-based degree or a Masters in science which is more laboratory-based.
