SHU offering niche programs in the disciplines of Biomedical Engineering, Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical sciences, ICT and Management Sciences. Salim Habib University offers a complementing, meditative atmosphere for budding leaders pursuing under graduate and postgraduate programs. SHU Pharm-D is an exclusive, comprehensive and multi-faceted program, covering various disciplines of the Pharmacy Profession. SHU always sets high standards when it comes to the quality of education. We define high quality education as one which produces graduates mentored to compete with students for placements from some of the best graduate programs offered by universities in developed countries. Not only that, we aim for top-notch corporations in Pakistan and abroad.

There is no denying that pharmacists play a crucial role in the healthcare system of any nation and have a direct impact on patient care. This makes it essential that young professionals are fully aware of the pharmaceutical, clinical and social aspects of their profession. At SHU we provide them with that holistic education. Hence, our approach is multi-faceted. We understand that a good pharmacist needs to have a patient-centered approach and be empathetic to the human condition while at the same time have the vision to be a part of research and development within the field. We also are aware that the current Pharm-D degree in Pakistan needs intensive integration of clinical aspects of Pharmacy with a patient-centered care. Hence, we aim to equip our students with such tools that will give them standing from international perspective and a distinct edge in the professional market. Furthermore, since the other important career aspect of Pharmaceutical sciences lies in the industrial area, taking advantage of our links within the pharmaceutical industry, our program is structured to also provide our students with the opportunity to understand the industrial side of the profession, while research and academic development remain the two core components of the program.
