The International Pharmacy program at Nam Can Tho University aims to train highly qualified pharmacists with strong professional knowledge and good foreign language skills. This meets the development needs of the pharmacy sector both in Vietnam and internationally. Students will study in a modern environment with a full English-taught curriculum, while also developing research skills, critical thinking, and the ability to adapt to ongoing advances in medicine and pharmacy worldwide.
The program is designed based on references from reputable universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, South Korea, and Australia. The curriculum includes fundamental and specialized subjects such as pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology, clinical pharmacy, formulation technology, drug testing, and pharmaceutical management. Students will be introduced to new trends in the field like personalized medicine, biopharmaceutical technology, and international-standard drug production. Besides professional knowledge, the program emphasizes communication skills, management skills, and entrepreneurship in pharmacy.
Graduates of the International Pharmacy program can work in hospitals, pharmacies, manufacturing companies, pharmaceutical trade and import-export businesses, drug testing laboratories, or biomedical research institutes. With a solid foundation in both language and expertise, students can join international health organizations, work in multinational environments, or continue their studies at postgraduate levels domestically or abroad. Moreover, the program provides a strong foundation for students to start their own businesses in pharmacy, manage pharmacies, or develop new products for the global healthcare market.
In the context of strong globalization, proficiency in foreign languages—especially English—has become an essential factor that enables students to adapt, grow, and work in international environments.
