The exact number, nature and organization of the subjects taught at B Pharm undergraduate level varies from university to university or college to college. However, as a general rule, all B Pharm courses will cover the following areas in some form or other: Human anatomy and physiology; pharmaceutics; pharmacognosy; pharmaceutical organic and inorganic chemistry; mathematics; biology; computer science; statistics; physical pharmaceutics; pharmaceutical microbiology and biotechnology; patho physiology; applied biochemistry; medicinal chemistry; pharmaceutical jurisprudence; phyto chemistry; pharmaceutical engineering; pharmacology; biopharmaceutics; instrumental and biomedical analysis; toxicology; medicinal chemistry; industrial pharmacognosy. In addition, those studying a B Pharm undergraduate degree will also undertake an elective, which is a piece of original and intensive research. As you can see, the B Pharm undergraduate degree course is very content heavy, and requires a lot of contact time with tutors in the form of theoretical and practical tuition.

The B Pharm is studied all over the world, although it the course itself varies from country to country. The countries in which the B Pharm is studied in some shape or form include India, Pakistan, China, the UK and most places on the continent of mainland Europe.

B Pharm stands for Bachelor of Pharmacy, and it is the basic requirement for those wishing to practice pharmaceuticals in countries all over the world.

The field of pharmacy is a popular profession for a number of reasons, including relative job security, the high degree of knowledge required, and interesting nature of the job, in addition to relatively high pay.
