Dean, Faculty of Pharmacy

Dean's message

Dear Future Pharmacists,

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Faculty of Pharmacy at Ahram

Canadian University. While you are taking your first steps in your

pharmacy education it is important for you to understand that the

pharmacy profession is associated with great morals and values which

you should acquire during your years of education. For example, your

realization of the importance of time, accuracy and good practice could

be detrimental in cases where you are recommending a dosing schedule

for a patient or in drug manufacturing, or in recording and interpreting

patient data. I encourage you to take these values seriously as they could

affect patient patients’ lives and wellbeing.

Our faculty is dedicated to providing you with advanced pharmacy

education, professional skills and ethics to help you excel in your career,

not forgetting that sincere desire, persistence and effective

determination are indispensable success elements that you ought to

have. Our outstanding academic staff is promising all the support that

you may need to better prepare you to advance the pharmacy profession

and drug industry in Egypt to a level comparable or exceeding today’s

international level.

Grading system:

As for the University courses, the total marks are graded according to the system

adopted by the University.

Calculating the GPA, Grade Point Average:

The GPA is calculated by multiplying the number of credit hours of each course by

the grade value {listed in the previous table regarding grading system} obtained

by the student. The quality points of all the courses are then added and are then

divided by the total number of credit hours.

GPA = total # of quality points / total # of credit hours

The student is assessed by GPA according to the following Table:
