Hamidiye Faculty of Pharmacy

Hello, I'm Elif Tanıl. I am a 4th year student at the University of Health Sciences, Hamidiye Faculty of Pharmacy. Our faculty is located in Selimiye. The Faculty of Pharmacy was established to train graduates and students who will take part in all processes from the production of therapeutic chemicals to their presentation to the patient. Our courses are divided into theoretical and applied courses. Among these courses, we can count courses such as Pharmaceutical Technology, Pharmacology, Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmacognosy. We have Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Pharmacognosy, Phytotherapy, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology Laboratories in our faculty. Students of our faculty work on their thesis in the 5th grade. In addition to this, we have 4 internships. The first of these is the summer internship we undertake at the end of the second year. Next summer we have our 2nd internship, the next summer we have our 3rd internship and we do internships during the whole semester in the 2nd semester of the 5th grade. When we graduate from our department, we can work in pharmacies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies or pharmaceutical warehouses. I chose this department because I think that the pharmaceutical industry is of great importance in providing health services. Our university has connections with many hospitals and institutions, which is a great advantage for me. After graduating, I want to enroll in the doctorate program and pursue an academic career. I would advise students who will choose our faculty to carry out scientific research and always ask for help when they are engaged in studies. I wish good luck to the candidates who will take the exam.
