The Faculty of Pharmacy, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan owes its origin to the Department of Pharmacy, established in 1976. Initially, it was housed in a rented building but later on it was shifted to a part of a borrowed building called " Old Campus" on Bosan Road, Multan. The Department moved to its present premises, the "Pharmacy Block", at the University Campus in 1984.

With the start of Department in 1976 a three years course for the degree of B.Pharmacy was launched, which was then replaced by a four years course in 1979 on the recommendations of the University Grants Commission (Now HEC). B.Pharmacy (four year programme) has now been replaced by a five years programme of DOCTOR OF PHARMACY Pharm.D from the session 2003-2004. The programme of studies for the degree of M.Phil. in the subject of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutics was started in 1986 and M.Phil. in the subject of Pharmacology has also been started in 1997. M.Phil. programme in the subject of Pharmacognosy is expected to start in the near future. Ph.D. programme is also offered by the Department. The

Department after its establishment, gradually strengthened its academic programmes as a result of which in 1992, it was given the status of a separate Faculty of Pharmacy.

An adequate collection of text books, reference books and research journals are available in the library of the Department/Faculty covering various disciplines of Pharmacy. The books are also available to the students from the Book Bank of the University on loan basis.

The students during the course of their studies go on industrial tours of various Pharmaceutical industries and laboratories as a part of their practical/professional training. The Faculty keeps liaison with different employing agencies and helps the students seeking employment.
