• 5- Organic Chemistry Department:

  Organic Chemistry Department aims to produce graduates that are highly sought after upon graduation in today’s ever changing market. In pursuit of these general goals we must strive to identify important new problem areas in which chemistry can provide solutions. Students in the organic chemistry program will receive a solid background in organic chemistry and will also learn the fundamentals of synthesis, manufacture and use of drugs. Organic chemistry being the students first gate in pharmacy, offers PC111, PC112 and PHC213 that paves the way to the pharmaceutical chemistry, biochemistry and phytochemistry programs. The fourth year project course gives students direct involvement in research and encourages the core values of scientific literacy, integrity, and transparency to promote a culture of collaboration and safety.

• 6- Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department:

  Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department aims to produce graduates that are competent in the field and are capable of achieving and maintaining the highest standards within the continuously evolving field of pharmaceutical practices. Students are exposed the chemistry of the different pharmaceutical drug classes, allowing them to understand and predict the differences in biological activities according to SAR studies. Moreover, they are also introduced to the basic principles and the latest techniques of drug design and discovery, as well as lead optimization. Finally, the students are also taught the techniques and methods used for the synthesis and analysis of pharmaceutical compounds.

• 7- Pharmaceutics and Industrial Pharmacy Department:

  Pharmaceutics and Industrial Pharmacy Department Faculty of Pharmacy, MSA University conducts high-quality education for undergraduate, including the science of dosage form design and its performance. The teaching program allows students to have full information about all drug dosage forms presented in pharmacy, their principle, formulation, evaluation and application that is targeted towards improving patient compliance and minimizing drug toxicity. Different scientific disciplines are promoted to undergraduates including; physical pharmacy and relationship between the drug physicochemical properties and drug design to reach optimized dosage form. The program also serves bio-pharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics course that offer the students with complete understanding for drug absorptions, distributions, metabolism, and eliminations that happen during the course of drug treatment. Industrial pharmacy includes research, manufacturing, marketing, distribution of the drug developed along with quality control to solve the industrial problems and develop the pharmaceutical products. The department extends to optimize the teaching process and students level through upgrading the courses and graduation project research topics. Advanced drug or gene delivery systems, computer-aided process design, registration of generic products, marketing and cosmetic courses are submitted to students.

• 8- Pharmacognosy Department:

  Pharmacognosy Department offers various courses in Pharmacognosy as a part of the 5-year B.Sc Pharmaceutical Sciences degree programme, these courses are planned to provide the students with the most recent developments in areas dealing with the nature, chemical composition, therapeutic uses and analysis of drugs from natural sources

• 9- Pharmacology and Toxicology Department:

  Pharmacology and Toxicology Department applies innovative strategies to effectively communicate the current state of knowledge in the pharmacology and toxicology field to students and improve the understanding of the interactions of chemicals and drugs with living systems using multidisciplinary programs range from those that determine the effects of chemical agents upon subcellular mechanisms, to those that address the potential hazards of pesticides and herbicides, to those that focus on the treatment and prevention of major diseases by drug therapy. Pharmacologists are also involved in molecular modeling of drugs, and the use of drugs as tools to dissect aspects of cell function. The department provides outstanding training for students who may subsequently go on to exciting research, regulation and administration in the field of academic, industrial, and healthcare management

Academic field trips are the enjoyable element of education. Field trips enhance significantly the content introduced in a course through conveying certain elements that cannot be illustrated with a broad spectrum in classrooms. There are several courses in the Faculty of Biotechnology that include going on field trips. One of the main courses that involve various field trips is the "Industrial Project" and "Cell and Tissue culture". The Industrial project promotes a spectrum of benefits to the students. It allows them to be exposed to various fields which are an opportunity to aspire them creatively and professionally. We intend to visit various sites as the ones mentioned in the following table.

2: Academic Speakers

From time to time the faculty invites Academic speakers from other institutions to discuss the different disciplines of science. This provides the chance for students to comprehend the opportunities, responsibilities and experience of the professional career in the spoken of field. The industrial project course highlights their importance since it aims to inspire our thriving young scientists through the exposure of the expertise of the renowned speaker. The faculty intends to invite the following speakers to cover the stated topics mentioned in the following table:

3: Graduation Projects:

The biotechnology faculty is renowned for its graduation projects. Each year we always aim to introduce a new scientific field into the process of the graduation projects. We plan to add more accommodating hosts to the already existing directory. The following are the list of hosts we intend to send our students to this upcoming year.

Trainings are a fundamental tool used in the Faculty of Biotechnology. The training programs provided allows students to develop areas that suit their particular needs. During our trainings, attendees have the opportunity to interact with others from different organizations and different industries. These diverse perspectives allow students to explore innovative approaches to solve common issues. The variety of trainings offered permits learning, developing and interacting without the distractions of the everyday student duties. In addition it broadens the mind, raises issues and challenges the theoretical concept attained. Several institutes have accommodated our students for training. We plan to add training in more field than the already existing fields offered. The following is a list of accommodating hosts that we sent our students to and planning to add for the upcoming year.
