About Programme: 

The Pharmacy Doctorate (Pharm.D.) is a six years entry-level professional degree program guided by its core values, Excellence, Professionalism, Innovation, and Service. The curriculum is designed to prepare future practitioners to provide patient-oriented pharmaceutical care in contemporary settings including community pharmacy practice, hospital environments, industrial pharmacy practice, manufacturing pharmaceutical companies, academia, regulatory agencies, research and long-term care facilities.

 To meet these demands, the University of Cape Coast School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (UCC-SoPPS) uses innovative teaching and learning methodologies such as Problem Based Learning (PBL), Community Based Experiential Practice (COBES), Industry-Based Experiential Practice (INBEP), and Community-Based Pharmacy Experience (COBPE) to produce competent pharmacists with the knowledge and skills required to address pharmacy-related needs of the society.

 UCC-SoPPS has several local and international collaborators who assist in producing the next generation pharmacists.

Goal / Objectives: 

The goal of the School is to facilitate the training of students to acquire clinical, industrial, and community-based experience in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences.

Entry Requirements: 

The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (SoPPS) at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) will admit students in the PharmD programme from two streams of applicants namely: “Regular” and “Awaiting results” streams. Applicants with first degrees of Higher National Diploma (HND) are encouraged to apply for the PharmD with their certificates and such applicants will be considered during the “Regular” admission process. Interviews for “Regular” applicants will be conducted in June/July while admission interviews for “Awaiting results” will be conducted in August when WASSCE results are released. The number of students to be admitted each year will be determined by the Management of the School in consultation with the University authorities.

 SHORTLISTING PROCESS

The School of Pharmacy Admissions (SPA) is an extremely competitive and robust admission process where applicants will be shortlisted based on their results from the WASSCE/SSCCE and/or first degree or HND certificates where applicable. The basic requirement is that applicants should have credit passes (A1-C6) in six (6) subjects to be shortlisted. The passes must be in the three core subjects (English, Core Mathematics, and Integrated Science/Social Studies) and three electives in the sciences (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics or Mathematics). The applicant’s examination results presented will constitute 40 % of the total score for admission. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to take part in the School of Pharmacy Admission Test (SPAT) and interview.

SCHOOL OF PHARMACY ADMISSION TEST (SPAT)

Shortlisted applicants will then undertake the School of Pharmacy Admission Test (SPAT) which is a computer-based exam comprising questions from four elective areas: Biology, Chemistry, Elective Mathematics, and Physics. The applicants will be introduced to the UCC E-learning platform where the exam will be conducted. The results from the SPAT will constitute 40 % of the total score.

 SCHOOL OF PHARMACY INTERVIEW (SPAI)

The interview is an extremely important part of the PharmD Admissions Process. During the interview, applicants are evaluated in a variety of areas including motivation, communication skills, personal attributes, critical thinking and decision-making abilities, knowledge of the pharmacy profession, and issues affecting health care. Before the interview, applicants should familiarize themselves with the values and attributes of a good Pharmacist.  We aim to admit a class that will fully embody the traits of the UCC SoPPS P.H.A.R.M.A.C.I.S.T. upon graduation from the PharmD program.
