The College of Pharmacy contains the following specialized laboratories:

1. Laboratories of the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry.
2. Laboratories of the Department of Pharmacognosy and Natural Products.
3. Laboratories of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology.
4. Laboratories of the Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacy Practice.
5. Laboratories of the Department of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Technology
6. Laboratories of the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics.
7.  Experimental pharmaceutical factory.

All laboratories are equipped with various laboratory devices, equipment and tools according to specialization, which are constantly updated

The pharmaceutical factory located on the ground floor of the Faculty of Pharmacy building at Pharos University is an educational factory for undergraduate students at the college, equipped with the latest devices and equipment.

The factory is divided into two units:

– The first unit: It is a pharmaceutical manufacturing unit at the laboratory level in which students are trained to apply different methods in preparing pharmaceutical preparations from coated and uncoated tablets, capsules, suppositories, etc., using the devices in the unit, which include dry and wet granulation devices, and a vesicle/fine particle preparation device, cladding suits, ovens, scales, etc.

-The second unit: It is the quality control unit for pharmaceutical preparations, in which the student is trained to use various devices such as devices for measuring the rate of dissolution, hardness, fragility, and disintegration of tablets, a quantitative analysis device with visible and ultraviolet rays, in addition to a device for measuring the viscosity of liquid and semi-solid preparations and devices for measuring the properties of powders. And others

To ensure the progress of the educational process and the maintenance of the devices, there are qualified specialists who operate these devices and supervise their maintenance.

A building adjacent to the College of Pharmacy building was created for several purposes including:

– Internal training for college students to work in pharmacies.

– Conducting practical classes for some of the courses taught at the college, such as (Community Pharmacy)

The internal summer training program for students at the college aims to enrich the student’s scientific background, link theoretical information with the practical application of the pharmacy profession, and introduce the student to the real role of the pharmacist, which is not limited to reading drug prescriptions and dispensing them but rather includes dealing with patients from the public who frequent the pharmacy and cooperating with the medical staff in determining The correctness of the doses and the presence of any possible interactions between the prescribed medications and the provision of health care to patients with professionalism and respect.

This training is carried out by dramatizing some cases that face pharmacists in the pharmacy and how to deal with them and provide advice to them.

To achieve this goal, the typical pharmacy contains:

• Cabinets in which various pharmaceutical preparations are arranged.
• A place for preparing pharmaceutical formulations.
• A special place where the pharmacist provides patient counseling.
• computers.
• Several tables and chairs for discussion.
• Show Data display device and screen

The Animal House building consists of one floor and is adjacent to the College of Pharmacy building.

The building consists of four air-conditioned rooms equipped with multi-shelf racks to accommodate cages of rats (laboratory mice). The animal house contains two types of Sprague-Dawley rats (males and females) of various weights to cover the needs of students in different academic levels, as well as research for postgraduate students at the Faculty of Pharmacy.

In the framework of cooperation with research bodies at Alexandria University, the action of selling rats to researchers in the faculties of pharmacy, medicine, science, and agriculture has already begun.

To ensure the general care of the animals, qualified specialists supervise the rats’ subsistence, feeding, reproduction, and general cleanliness of the place.

Pharos University provides its services to students of various colleges through a central library. The university has given the library special attention and provided it with sufficient resources to enrich its collections of books and references in various specializations, introduce modern technologies, and use information technology.

The library opens its doors to serve its visitors throughout the day, and a large number of students and faculty members benefit from its services daily by viewing, borrowing, using computers to prepare research, or accessing the Internet to collect scientific information.

In addition to the library, the university has reading halls that provide a quiet environment for students to study, collect, and use the Internet wi-fi between lecture times or practical classes. There is also an electronic library containing subscriptions to some scientific journals, important scientific websites, and software.

The student attends practical classes for the computer course in the computer laboratories in the theoretical colleges building and the Faculty of Engineering. In addition to the new computer laboratories on the ground floor and fifth floor of the Faculty of Pharmacy, which contain 150 computers for use in some academic courses to raise the efficiency of education and also for postgraduate students. It is worth noting that the devices are connected to the Internet and contain visual and audio devices, LCD screens, and display devices. Further, several new programs have been introduced that are useful in teaching some academic courses.

There are 4 halls on the ground and fifth floors, equipped with computers for use in various educational purposes and connected to the Internet. They contain visual and audio devices, LCD screens, and projectors. Several new programs have been introduced and are taught in various courses.

One of the halls is attached to a pharmacy simulation, and there is also a place for training in clinical pharmacy. Through the unit, students are trained and provided with the necessary pharmaceutical cognitive skills, and simulate what happens in hospitals and health institutions. The laboratory was designed to serve educational objectives such as group discussions, case studies, and group work skills, by presenting health and disease problems and finding solutions to them by working in groups and creating a competitive spirit among the different teams. It also accommodates the educational objectives of developing individual skills so that each individual can find solutions and case studies through the Internet and global software and discuss solutions with their peers at the end of the practical sessions.

The faculty has begun to offer the following postgraduate programs:

• Master’s degree in pharmacology and toxicology.
• Master’s degree in analytical and pharmaceutical chemistry.
• Master’s degree in Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Technology.
• Diploma in Hospital Pharmacy.

The faculty was keen to provide the latest technologies applied in the field of scientific research and to complete the pharmaceutical research complex. The complex provides all modern capabilities for researchers and students for master’s, doctoral, and diploma degrees, as it contains 7 laboratories in all specializations in the Faculty, and each laboratory includes the equipment of its department, which facilitates the work of researchers.
