Pharmaceutics

Pharmaceutics is the discipline of pharmacy that deals with the process of turning a new chemical entity (NCE) or old drugs into a medication to be used safely and effectively by patients. It is also called the science of dosage form design

About the Department

Welcome to the Pharmaceutics unit at the Pharmacy program, College of Pharmacy and Dentistry, Buraydah Colleges. Since the beginning of the College of Pharmacy, the Pharmaceutics unit has significantly contributed to the college's undergraduate bachelor of pharmaceutical sciences program through offering core and elective courses in different areas of pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical microbiology.

Pharmaceutics is a multidisciplinary applied science concerned with delivering and maintaining appropriate drug concentrations at target sites in the body for appropriate times (thus, alleviating disease by optimizing drug effects over time). Our faculty members are distinguished scientists who mentor students, run active research labs, and contribute to the advancement of the pharmaceutics discipline.


Vision, Mission and Goals.

Vision

The department seeks to excel in pharmaceutical sciences education locally and regionally.

Mission

The Pharmaceutical Sciences Program is committed to offer high-quality education to its students, and provide community services in different professional pharmacy settings.

Goals

  1. To graduate a competent and confident pharmacist who has professional knowledge, skills and attitudes and able to contribute with other health care professionals to address the patient’s overall health care needs.
  2. To contribute to developing the health care system in Saudi Arabia and in particular the Qassim region through its students, staff and by providing professional community partnership, research, and educational services.
