Admission requirements

The Faculty of Pharmacy seeks students with appropriate academic qualification, good command of English and high motivation to study Pharmacy. 

The written test includes a multiple-choice test (with one correct answer only for each question) in Chemistry (50 questions), Biology (30 questions), and Botany (20 questions). In addition, the English language level will be tested by an English grammar test (40 questions).

Students will obtain points only for correct answers. They will get 1 point for each correct answer in Chemistry, Biology, and Botany. In addition, they will get 0.5 points for each correct answer in the English language test. If the applicant does not answer a particular question correctly or does not answer the question at all, the applicant will not obtain minus points, which would be deducted from the total score obtained for correct answers.

It is the responsibility and right of the Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy to set the threshold level of points required for admission with respect to the number of applicants and the capacity of the faculty.
