A B.Pharm is a four-year undergraduate programme that aims at providing students in-depth knowledge regarding pharmaceutical sciences, drug formulation, medicinal chemistry, and pharmacology. The semester-wise curriculum can be divided into eight semesters, covering every theoretical and practical aspect of the pharmacy field of study, that is, including pharmaceutics, pharmacognosy, pharmacology, pharmaceutical analysis, along with other several subjects. These students also carry out laboratory trainings, undertake research projects, and visit industry for practical and hands-on exposures. Some universities also provide integrated learning with hospital training, which exposes them to clinical pharmacy.
The program includes internships or industrial training as part of the curriculum, most commonly performed in the final year. Interns are placed in major pharmaceutical firms, hospitals, or research institutions to gain practical experience. Graduates can seek employment in the production of pharmaceutical companies, quality control, drug regulation, or in a hospital pharmacy. They can further opt for higher education, like M.Pharm or Pharm.D, to specialise in a specific field, such as clinical research, pharmacovigilance, or regulatory affairs.
