Studying Plan
      The studying plan followed the curriculum of the faculty of pharmacy-Tanta University until the decision of the professor doctor, the state minister of high education and scientific research number 37, on the date of 8/1/1998 about the formation of an internal curriculum of the faculty of pharmacy-Ain Shams University, which was founded and prepared by a specialized working group in the pharmaceutical education.

Studying hours
      The Total studying hours of the academic plan is 191 credit hours, number of syllabuses is 67, the general courses percentage 14.7 %, the auxiliary courses 16.2%, applications 2.1%, specializing courses 67% that gather between the pharmacy practice, health and environmental sciences, pharmacy administration and the optional syllabuses.

Courses
      As you knew above, we have 67 courses to cover all the modern pharmacy teaching requirements and prerequisites. The courses are divided among the five grades (a total of 10 semesters) in a consecutive method that makes the student able to recognize each single course step-by-step. In addition, our 20 elective courses in the second semester of the Senior grade makes every student capable of choosing his courses according to his/her interests...

   If you are a student in the faculty, or even you are new to it, and just want to know more about what you are going to study through out the whole five years, so  you have come to the right place, as you will find here a list of all the courses applied to the students. Also you will find a list of the elective courses from which you can choose during the second semester of the last year. Good luck!
