Welcome to the Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahidol University’s (MUPY) official website. Since the establishment of MUPY in 1968, we have been offering a pharmacy degree leading to the qualification for pharmacist licensure in Thailand. Initially started as a 5-year Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy, the current program is a 6-year Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program introduced in 2009 in concordance with the initiative led by the Pharmacy Council of Thailand. This transition aimed to advance Thai pharmacy education to meet evolving international standard and to meet the increasing expansion of pharmacist’s roles in Thai society. With over 50-year of operations, MUPY has been playing instrumental roles in advancing the healthcare system and related business of Thailand both in the public and private sectors. Our graduates have grown to become national / international leaders in pharmacy and related fields and spread their influence around the globe.
Started in the late 1970’s, our graduate programs have now expanded to cover all major fields of pharmacy and all programs are 100% international with English as the media of teaching and learning. As a result, our graduate programs not only welcome qualified local applicants but also a large number of international students from various parts of the globe. Strength of our graduate programs is clearly visible with numerous research publications/ presentation in high impact scientific journals. Our international alumni have become the leaders in their respective fields and have been playing important roles in advancing science, education and practice in their home countries. We therefore pride ourselves as one of the main providers of pharmacy education for this region.
The key strength of the program is based on the collection of high quality staff in various fields which allow students to have strong and comprehensive foundation of knowledge along with lifelong learning skills to achieve the fullest potential of each individual. In addition, a comprehensive and wide range of student supports, facilities and infrastructure help provide a fulfilling environment for students to learn and flourish both professionally and personally.
Ranked at the top of faculties of pharmacy in the nation, we are deeply proud of our traditions and values that our staff and graduates have collectively passed on and cherished throughout our long history. This is a trend that we continue to hold strongly in our hearts and minds as the true value of our organization.
Since our inception, international partnership is a core component of our mission. Internationalization both at home and abroad has been one of the key strategies for our development. Through these collaborations, students and faculty members alike are provided with excellent opportunity to broaden their knowledge and expertise in the area of their interests. We cherish and deeply value academic, education & research collaboration with international partners and always are willing to explore new and exciting opportunity to expand our international outreach and collaboration with leading institutions around the world.
Whether you are interested in a career as a pharmacist or a pharmaceutical scientist; whether you are exploring opportunities for academic or research collaboration with our faculty, on behalf of all MUPY people who make this faculty an enduring legacy, I warmly and sincerely welcome your interest in MUPY. Please browse through our website and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Assoc. Prof. Surakit Nathisuwan , Pharm.D.
