Pharmacy is one of the most sought after courses by prospective students in Nigeria. Perhaps, because pharmacy is a very lucrative course.
Everyone want to study a course that have job guarantees or certain career prospects. Pharmacy provides both.
But then, not many Nigerian universities offer pharmacy. That’s because not all universities are accredited to run the pharmacy program.
Seeing you need this information, I decided to make this guide. It contains the list of universities that run pharmacy in Nigeria.
Before we get started, let me intimate you on something.
The study of pharmacy leads to the award of a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree (B.Pharm.). Though the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) has upgraded that.
So it now leads to the award of a Doctor of Pharmacy degree (D.Pharm.). Though some universities that run pharmacy still award B.Pharm.
But you’re looking for universities to study pharmacy. Right?
Let me show you quickly.
