The latest exciting and thrilling news from the education sector indicates that Victoria University’s Bachelor Of Pharmacy Program has finally been accredited by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE).
The above makes Victoria University the sixth accredited institution in Uganda to offer this distinguished program.
Experts from the Pharmaceutical Society of Uganda (PSU) and NCHE last month carried out a joint inspection and verification exercise at Victoria University to ascertain whether the University was fit to run this program.
According to our sources at PSU, the experts were left shocked by the world-class standard of the laboratory, modern equipment and highly skilled lecturers they found at Victoria University, thus the swift accreditation.
Meanwhile, in his response to this milestone, Victoria University’s restless and most innovative Prof Lawrence Muganga commended PSU and NCHE for the accreditation and vowed that the University’s zeal to foster a supportive learning environment, drive innovation, and meet healthcare needs, both locally and globally, is highly boosted.
”Meeting the rigorous standards set by the NCHE and having the most state-of-the-art pharmacy laboratory in Uganda highlights our commitment to excellence in education and preparing future pharmacists for successful careers,” says Muganga, the famous author of the E.Africa’s 1st AI book dubbed ‘From Chalk to CHATBOTS’.
Prof Muganga further noted, ”I commend our administration and the Faculty of Health Sciences for their hard work in obtaining this accreditation. Acknowledgement is also due to the NCHE & PSU for their pivotal role in ensuring a seamless accreditation process, ultimately promoting excellence in Uganda’s pharmaceutical education.”
