Faculty of Pharmacy

Hello, I'm Öykü Su Baran. I am a 2nd year student at Anadolu University, Faculty of Pharmacy. Our faculty was established in 1968 as a private School of Pharmacy in Anadolu University’s Yunus Emre Campus. Faculty of Pharmacy offers a 5-year pharmacy education and with the requirement of 300 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System. We usually have biology and chemistry courses. Among the courses we have, there are Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacognosy, Botany, and Anatomy. In addition to theoretical courses, we also have laboratory courses in our faculty. In this way, we have a chance to experiment with everything we learn theoretically. In the laboratories of our courses such as Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Technology, Analytical Chemistry and Botany, we have the chance to examine our plants and make tablets and cream. We can start our internship training in our faculty after completing the 2nd year. We have 4 internships that we have to complete. As for graduation, when we reach the 5th grade, we have a graduation project. Students who graduate from the Faculty of Pharmacy can work in many sectors. After graduation, we can run a private pharmacy, work in hospital pharmacy, government institutions, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, or become academics. The biggest factor in my preference for the Faculty of Pharmacy is that we can be closer to our patients and come to their aid compared to other health departments. I chose Anadolu University because I found it advantageous to be a well-established and well-equipped school and to be located in a student city. After graduation, I want to work in the marketing department in the pharmaceutical industry and I am trying to improve myself in this field. Pharmacy is quite a fun field. We are studying in the modular system at Anadolu University Faculty of Pharmacy. That's why we take exams every month. I would like to tell prospective students that they will be in a department that requires effort and they should study accordingly. I would recommend them to take part in many activities offered to us by our school, in addition to our studies, and to improve themselves in every way. Good luck to all those who will take the exam. We would like to see you at Anadolu University Faculty of Pharmacy.
