Pharmacy, a significant field in medicine, is the fundamental guarantee for a robust and developing medical system. The College of Pharmacy started with great attentions from the government of Guangdong province and Shenzhen municipality.

In order to provide great teaching and practice opportunities for students, the College plans to build the drug manufacture, test-analysis platform, biological safety level-3 (BSL-3) laboratory, and educational GMP platform. So far, the College has offered bachelor’s degrees in Pharmacy and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and established the practice bases with famous pharmaceutical companies, including Sinopharm Zhijun (Shenzhen), CR Sanjiu, Shenzhen Main Luck Pharmaceuticals Inc, and Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Industry Co.
