Overview

At BPharm from the University of the Western Cape, we aim to create an enabling environment for students that encourages their intellectual curiosity, and debate. You'll find scholars who are recognised as national and international leaders in their fields, and who are actively engaged in ground-breaking research.

Learning Outcomes

The Faculty’s friendly staff are welcoming and supportive. Please seek assistance if you feel lost or uncertain. You are part of a community. Believe me, you will not be the only student with what you think is that ‘dumb’ question.

We are committed ourselves to equipping and graduating students with the skills that will allow them to address our society’s needs, from the ‘small’ to the immense (think our challenges with poverty and inequality). Our Faculty is equipped with some of the most state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology available in South Africa. We want you, as students, to benefit as best as possible from these.
