Approved and Recognized by the Pharmacy Council of Pakistan (PCP), Chartered Inspection and Evaluation Committee (CIEC now Sindh HEC), and the Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan

INTRODUCTION

The modern healthcare system is incomplete without the active participation of a
pharmacist who is an expert on drug formulation, drug development, toxicology, therapeutics, etc. Therefore, it was of utmost importance to develop a proper training and educational institution in this critical field. There is a tremendous demand for trained and qualified Pharmacists in Pakistan as well as internationally. Realizing the importance of Pharmacy, a comprehensive proposal for the establishment of Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences (FPS) was prepared in 1993.

The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences (FPS) was formed according to the charter of Baqai Medical University in June 1996. Under the umbrella of FPS, Baqai Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (BIPS) was established. It was the first Pharmacy institution in the private sector in Karachi, preferably the first in the country.

BIPS has developed and expanded to a stage where it now has 5 large air-conditioned lecture halls with multimedia, 12 well-equipped laboratories, an air-conditioned Seminar Library, offices for the faculty members, a committee room, girls common rooms, a cafeteria, etc., spread over a covered area of more than 40,000 sq. ft. Since its inception, the institute is providing high-quality education and training in various disciplines of Pharmaceutical Sciences to students from all over the country. The facilities and resources for postgraduate studies at the university are extensive. The institute is also providing hospital and clinical internship facilities to its students and the students of other universities as well.

The first batch of Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharm.) students were admitted to BIPS in July 1996 and graduated in the year 2000. Later, the Pharmacy Council of Pakistan introduced the 5 year Pharm. D. program in the year 2004. BIPS was the first to adopt the program, and the first batch of Pharm. D. class was admitted in 2004. Since then, the number of newly admitted students has progressively increased. To date, over 1,200 degrees have been awarded to graduates. Additionally, more than 70 students have obtained the M. Phil. and Ph. D. degrees by working under the supervision of highly qualified professors of the institute.
