Pakistan has made significant progress over the last few years in research and professional practices in the field of Pharmaceutical Sciences, which is evident from the exponential growth of academic institutions, pharmacy care services and pharmaceutical industry. With major advancement in the research culture; career opportunities are extensive and varied in this rapidly expanding field. Despite all this, there is an acute shortage of properly trained and capable pharmaceutical management professionals.

These departments are focused on imparting state-of-the-art education with the core focus on relating the theoretical aspects to practise and research-based learning.

In Pakistan, as elsewhere in the world, courses imparting practical knowledge are the fastest growing segment in the world of education. At SCPS, the courses developed in tandem with the industry are well poised to train the youth to meet the challenge of a rapidly developing society and nation.
