Check if you qualifyThe Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D) at KAAF University College is a professional degree that prepares you to become a pharmacist. Programmes of this kind cover how medicines work, how they are made, and how to use them safely to improve patients' health. The degree combines scientific knowledge with clinical skills for direct patient care.
What a Pharm D programme usually covers
Pharm D programmes typically blend pharmaceutical sciences with clinical practice. You study subjects like pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics and clinical pharmacy, learning how drugs are developed, how they act in the body, and how they are prescribed and dispensed. Most programmes include placements in hospitals or community pharmacies, where you practise advising patients and managing prescriptions under supervision.
How hard it is to get a place at KAAF
Entry to KAAF's Doctor of Pharmacy is less competitive than to the same programme at public universities such as KNUST, University of Ghana, or Cape Coast. That means you have a reasonable chance of admission if you meet the entry requirements. You will still need strong passes in the required science subjects. Check your WASSCE grades against the published requirements to confirm that you qualify.
Where pharmacy graduates work
Most graduates work as pharmacists in community pharmacies, hospitals, or clinics, where they dispense medicines and counsel patients on their use. Others work in the pharmaceutical industry in manufacturing, quality control, or regulatory affairs. Some pursue careers in research, drug safety, or academia. Completing a Pharm D is the main route to professional registration as a pharmacist in Ghana.
