Welcome to the School of Pharmacy

Welcome to the School of Pharmacy!

The School of Pharmacy at the University of Waterloo is the first new pharmacy school in Canada in 20 years.  Benefiting from a unique partnership with the City of Kitchener, the program is housed in a state-of-the-art education and research building on the Health Sciences Campus in downtown Kitchener.

The School of Pharmacy offers an undergraduate pharmacy program that integrates foundational knowledge in the biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences with information and skills in the clinical, behavioural and social sciences to provide student pharmacists with the expertise needed to serve as medication therapy experts in the Canadian health care system.  The Baccalaureate in Pharmacy at the University of Waterloo has been awarded the status of Provisional Accreditation by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs for the three year term 2009-2012.  

The School of Pharmacy also offers a growing graduate program in the pharmaceutical, social, administrative and clinical sciences.  Graduate students benefit from the mentorship of faculty members engaged in cutting-edge research designed to improve the health of patients by preventing and optimizing the treatment of disease.  
Whether you are a student, pharmacist, health care professional or a member of the local community, the School of Pharmacy at University of Waterloo has something to offer.  We invite you to explore the opportunities that are available at the School and encourage you to contact us for further information.
