A degree in Pharmacy makes you eligible not only to seek
employment in various drug, chemical, biotechnology and healthcare
industries but also to start your own business.
Some specialisations available at post graduation level are
Pharmacy Practice, Pharmaceutics, Quality Assurance and Pharmacognosy. You can
otherwise opt for business administration, biotechnology or other courses in
allied disciplines at the post-graduate level. Sri Venkateshwara College of
Pharmacy ( www.surabhieducationalsociety.com),
Mesco College of Pharmacy ( www.mescomcp.com)
and G. Pulla Reddy College of Pharmacy are some of the colleges offering
B.Pharmacy in Hyderabad. Some others are Anwar Uloom College of Pharmacy, Deccan

A Bachelor of Pharmacy (abbreviated
BPharm) is an undergraduate academic degree in the field of pharmacy. The degree
is the basic prerequisite for registration to practice as a pharmacist in many
countries. In some countries, it has been superseded by the Master of Pharmacy (MPharm)
and Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degrees. In the United States, this degree was
granted as the baccalaureate pharmacy degree only at Washington State
University, where it has now been superseded by the PharmD degree. The degree
previously offered within the US—and still the required degree in Canada—is the
Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy.
Australia
In Australia,
the BPharm degree is awarded following a four-year undergraduate pharmacy
program. Australian undergraduate pharmacy courses were previously three years,
but were increased to four years during the 1990s with an increased emphasis on pharmacy
practice education. During the
early 2000s, two-year postgraduate Master
of Pharmacy courses were
established by many universities, but to date these have accounted for a
relatively minor proportion of pharmacy graduates.
All BPharm programs in Australia are accredited by the New Zealand and
Australian Pharmacy Schools Accreditation Committee (NAPSAC). Programs provide
training in fields including: pharmacology, chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry,
pharmacy practice (including pharmacotherapeutics, disease state management,
etc.), pharmaceutics, ethics, pharmacy law, pharmacy management, physiology,
anatomy, biochemistry, kinetics, and compounding medications.
At present, either the BPharm degree or the MPharm degree
are acceptable for registration as a practicing pharmacist. See list
of pharmacy schools: Australia for
a listing of institutions offering the BPharm degree.
Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours)
As with most honours degrees at Australian universities, the awarding of a Bachelor
of Pharmacy (Honours) (abbreviatedBPharm(Hons))
is based on the completion of original research and
a high-level of academic performance. All other graduates are awarded a pass
degree. Unlike most Honours degrees in Australia, an additional year of study is
not required for a BPharm(Hons) as most universities integrate research and
coursework in the fourth year of BPharm(Hons) programs.
Bachelor of Pharmacy (Rural)
In 2003, The University of Sydney began offering a four-year Bachelor
of Pharmacy (Rural) (abbreviated BPharm
(Rural)) program at its Orange campus.
It was designed to address the continuing shortage of pharmacists in rural areas
and placed greater emphasis on rural aspects of pharmacy practice. Since most of
the units-of-study were common to both the BPharm and BPharm (Rural), many of
the lectures were delivered by academics at the main campus in Sydney with
a live video broadcast to students at Orange.
The program was not offered in 2005, following the transfer of Orange campus to Charles
Sturt University. Following a review, a new BPharm (Rural) program was
offered from 2006 onwards at the university's main campus (Camperdown/Darlington
campus).
