Undergraduate pharmacy programmes have changed worldwide to provide a pharmacy graduate with advanced specification to match the needs of the 21st century. We offer the 1st UK validated MPharm programme in Egypt. Our distinguished programme implements the modern educational strategies and utilize advanced teaching, learning, and evaluation techniques.
In this programme, you will learn the science behind the use of medicines, including the physiology and anatomy of the human body, the effect of medicines, and how medicines are designed. You’ll also study the role of the pharmacist in healthcare and industry and develop vital skills such as clinical communications and problem-solving. Our state-of-art clinical simulation suites and mock pharmacy provide a realistic clinical environment for our students to practice the necessary skills under the supervision of our esteemed faculty members.
The modules you will study include Biology and Biochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Human Physiology with Pharmacology, Introduction to Medicines and Clinical Practice, Advanced Pharmacotherapeutics, Drugs and Medicine Development and Public Health and Patient Safety.
The MPharm programme provides multiple job opportunities and opens the door to the world of Clinical Pharmacy.
MPharm graduates find jobs in community pharmacies, hospitals, pharmaceutical industry, food industry, cosmetics & cosmeceuticals companies, drug development research, medicinal plants & herbal products companies or national & international drug control and legislations agencies and organizations.
The Pharmaceutical Science degree is the only one of its kind in Egypt. Pharmaceutical scientists play a vital role in the development of new medicines and vaccines and transforming patients' lives. The Pharmaceutical Science programme is designed to equip its graduates with the knowledge and technical skills required to fulfill the needs of the biopharmaceutical industry. Spanning the worlds of chemistry and biology, the programme focuses on drug discovery, development and analysis.
The programme begins with a foundation of basic sciences (chemistry, biology, human anatomy, and physiology) then progresses to advanced applied sciences including aspects of drug design, formulation development and manufacturing, quality assurance, clinical testing and regulatory compliance. Our inventive and inspiring faculty members with their outstanding reputation and strong research ethos, are dedicated to imparting their knowledge to our young students. The programme also offers intensive practical experience in the school’s state-of-art laboratories in addition to industrial internships.
The modules you will study include Biology and Biochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Human Physiology with Pharmacology.
Graduates will be able to work in the pharmaceutical industry, academia, drug development, and marketing within the pharmaceutical industry. They will also be equipped to enter the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors in a variety of disciplines, including formulation science, analytical chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and regulatory affairs.
A major part of the course examines important theoretical issues within psychology.
For instance, to what extent are people the product of their genes or up bringing? Why do we sleep and dream? How does the brain store memories and thoughts? Why do people obey authority? We also focus on how psychology can help to transform lives and improve the world. What are the best ways to promote and improve health? How can psychological research be used to understand and predict offending behaviour? How do our brains recover from injury? How can teachers encourage their pupils to grow in the face of adversity? Throughout the course you’ll gain several core skills. For example, you’ll discover how to think critically about a topic, collate and assess evidence, and present your findings.
You’ll also find out how to design and conduct psychological studies. This will involve devising research questions, collecting data, using statistical tools as well as qualitative methods, and writing a laboratory report.
These are all transferable skills that are highly valued by employees, and can also form a vital stepping-stone to future professional qualifications and work.
BPS accreditation of the UK programme is a hallmark of quality that is acknowledged by many employers and is also an important stepping stone if you wish to become a Chartered Psychologist. You can also continue your studies, and eventually teach and research psychology at a University. Due to their transferable skills, psychology graduates are also highly sought after in many different sectors of society, including marketing and advertising, human resources and communications, publicrelations and sales, learning and development roles in organisations, criminal justice and rehabilitation, business consultancy and management training, sports and wellbeing, and in government agencies and publicbodies.
With an increased scrutiny on eating and obesity, along with demand from both government and the public for nutritional and dietetic education, the role of dietitians/nutritionists has never been more important. The interpretation and communication of the science of nutrition, which enables people to make informed choices about food and lifestyle are essential in the modern world and affects both people living in high income countries through to LMIC and LIC.
Graduates work with individuals with special dietary needs, inform the general public about nutrition, evaluate and improve treatments, and educate patients, doctors, nurses and other health professionals.
This course covers the broad range of sciences that underpin nutrition and dietetics.
Dietitians and nutritionists are employed in both hospital and community settings. In addition, they may work in sports nutrition, food industry, charities, education and research or on a freelance basis. This degree gives you the theoretical knowledge and the practical experience to meet those expectations.
