About the School

The School of Pharmacy at the University of Technology, Jamaica is the largest in the English speaking Caribbean with a student body of over 350. The pharmacy programme was one of the first programmes offered by the then College of Arts, Science & Technology, (C.A.S.T.).

Since 1962, institutionalised training of pharmacists for Jamaica and other Caribbean islands has been done at UTech. At that time the pharmacists were trained through the Science Department. In 1995 the Department was expanded into Faculty of Health & Applied Sciences with two arms - School of Pharmacy & Health Sciences and the Department of Sciences and Mathematics. In August 2009 the newly formed School of Pharmacy was positioned in the College of Health Sciences.

The School of Pharmacy offers certificate, bachelor, master and doctoral programmes.
