Check if you qualifyThe B-Tech in Pharmacy Technician at Sunyani Technical University prepares students to support pharmacists in dispensing medicines and helping patients use them safely. Programmes of this kind blend pharmaceutical science with practical, hands-on skills. Entry is less competitive than many other health-related degrees, making it an accessible route into the health sector.
What pharmacy technician programmes cover
Programmes of this kind usually teach the science behind medicines, how they work in the body, and how they are prepared and dispensed. You will learn about drug calculations, dosage forms, and the legal and safety rules around supplying medicines. Most courses also include practical training in how to read prescriptions, label medicines, and interact with patients and other health professionals.
How hard it is to get a place
This programme is less competitive than programmes like medicine or nursing. That does not mean it has no requirements, but it does mean your WASSCE grades do not need to be among the very highest. If you are interested in health work but worried about competitive entry, this is a realistic option. Check the published entry requirements to see whether your grades qualify.
