Welcome to the website of the University of the Philippines College of Pharmacy!

For over a century, the College has served as a center of excellence in Philippine pharmacy education, research, and public service. From its early contributions to medicinal plant research to the development of leaders in the pharmacy profession, the College has consistently advanced knowledge and practice in ways that respond to the health needs of the Filipino people and support social progress. Building on this legacy, we continue to adapt and innovate so that our programs remain relevant and responsive to the challenges of today and tomorrow.

We aim to form graduates who embody honor, excellence, and service. Our students are trained to provide compassionate care, work in solidarity with communities and other health professionals, and uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethics. We guide them to grow not only as competent pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists but also as socially responsible leaders committed to serving the people.

Our academic programs reflect the broad role of pharmacy in health, growth, and development. The BS Pharmacy program focuses on people, including patient care, communities, and the rational use of medicines. The BS Pharmaceutical Sciences program focuses on products and systems, including drug discovery, development, and the scientific and regulatory foundations that ensure medicines are safe, effective, and of good quality. Together, these programs address the full pathway of medicines, from research and development to patient and community use.

Across instruction, research, extension, and public service, we work alongside communities, especially unserved and underserved Filipinos, to reduce health inequities and improve access to medicines. From our early research on Philippine medicinal plants to current innovations in pharmacy, our work remains guided by the goal of advancing health and well-being for all. We uphold a strong culture of quality assurance, explore new approaches in teaching and practice, and provide flexible learning pathways, such as continuing professional development and microcredential courses, to make education accessible and relevant.

The College is proud of its Level IV PAASCU accreditation and continues to pursue national and international recognition, while remaining grounded in service to the Filipino people. We welcome collaborations with communities, industry, government, and international partners to advance health care, research, and pharmacy practice.

We invite you to explore our programs, initiatives, and partnerships. Together, we continue to serve the Filipino people, guided by honor, excellence, compassion, and solidarity. We hope this website will be a helpful resource and look forward to your engagement in advancing pharmacy and health for the nation.
