Postes à Gqeberha, Allemagne

The Faculty of Pharmacy invites suitable candidates to join their Pharmaceutical Chemistry team.

Formal courses leading to a degree in Pharmacy at Rhodes University began in 1956, evolving into the Department of Pharmacy within the Faculty of Science, then the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and finally establishing as the Faculty of Pharmacy in 1980. It is currently the only Faculty of Pharmacy in South Africa. The university's long-standing association with pharmacy dates back to 1929, when Rhodes was recognized for pharmacy training.

The faculty moved to its current premises in 1988, equipped with state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities.

The pharmacy profession has evolved to emphasize patient-centered care with a strong scientific foundation, covering the minimum curriculum required by the South African Pharmacy Council, including internships and professional evaluations.

Internships can be completed in community, hospital, industrial, or academic settings, requiring a minimum of 12 months at an accredited site, submission of CPD evidence, and passing pre-registration exams. Successful interns register as CSPs and work in public or other sectors, with opportunities for postgraduate specialization in clinical, industrial, or academic pharmacy.
