Foundation In Science (Pharmaceutical Sciences)
About
UCSI’s Foundation in Science (Pharmacy) programme is designed to provide a seamless transition into the Bachelor of Pharmacy (Hons) course. This specialised foundation equips students with a solid grounding in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects while offering early exposure to pharmacy-specific content.
In today’s fast-evolving healthcare landscape under the Fourth Industrial Revolution, pharmacists must be medicine experts, digitally skilled, and effective communicators. This programme addresses these demands by fostering independent and critical thinking—essential for the research-intensive field of pharmacy.
Students will learn in a dynamic environment that encourages exploration and discovery. With guidance from experienced professors and access to advanced learning facilities, students will develop the knowledge and skills needed to excel in their pharmacy education and future careers.
