Overview

Like most developing countries, Kenya has until recently relied primarily on imported pharmaceuticals and growth in this sector has only been witnessed in recent times.

The process of manufacture of pharmaceuticals is highly complex in nature and requires different skills in order to produce quality products which meet international standards. There are many steps involved in the whole process which requires the involvement of personnel trained in the relevant areas.

The Industrial Pharmacy programme offered by the University of Nairobi is intended to provide students with advanced training in the development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. Industrial pharmacy is a discipline of pharmacy which studies pharmaceutical product formulation and manufacturing processes. This program will be of particular interest to students who are working in or aspiring to work in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.
