Dean/HOD's Message:

Welcome to the Faculty of Pharmacy at the Rashid Latif Khan University!
The RLKU Faculty of Pharmacy journey started in 2013 after the Rashid Latif College of Pharmacy was established under the umbrella of the Rashid Latif Medical Complex. The college was designed with the vision to provide high-quality pharmacy education to students, and within a short period of time just under a decade, the college has developed rapport in the industry, compiled a dedicated staff group, and an ever growing alumni of passionate pharmacists.
The college has made significant contributions to the Pakistani pharmaceutical community through presenting innovative ways to educate students and teach skills of pharmacy, with a focus on community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, clinical pharmacy, industrial pharmacy, & pharmaceutical technology. Rapid progress has been made by the college in achieving its mission to strengthen, sustain and professionalize pharmaceutical knowledge through innovative research, and allied health professional teaching through integration with other branches of the Rashid Latif Medical Complex. It’s been a privilege to see the Rashid Latif College of Pharmacy constantly being ranked as one of the top pharmacy colleges in the country after only 9 years of operation, and it’s a true reflection of the excellent academic record of the college students.
With the same spirit in mind, the Faculty of Pharmacy at the Rashid Latif Khan University will aim to achieve a paralleled status of excellence. RLKU will offer both M. Phil and PhD programs, along with diploma programs, providing a diverse range of educational options to incoming students, and I personally wish each student who joins the RLKU Faculty of Pharmacy a bright and prosperous future in the pharmaceutical field.
