Pharmacy Education Built on Practice & Research
RAK College of Pharmacy (RAKCOP) commenced its B.Pharm program in 2007–2008 following accreditation by the Ministry of Higher Education & Scientific Research (MOHESR) and the UAE Ministry of Education. From an initial cohort of 22 students, the college has grown steadily, and its programs have been re-accredited by the MOHESR.
Today RAKCOP offers a full pathway in the pharmaceutical sciences — from the Bachelor of Pharmacy through Master’s specializations in Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences to PhD research streams — supported by a practice school, modern laboratories and partnerships with industry, hospitals and international universities.
