Mission Statement

Founded in 2005, the School of Pharmacy at Aichi Gakuin University is designed to prepare qualified students providing them with a comprehensive foundation in pharmaceutical sciences and practice of pharmacy combined with a strong liberal arts curriculum. With the public’s rising interest towards health topics in recent years and the arrival of the ageing society, ‘preventive medicine’, ‘highly advanced medical technology’ and ‘the securing of quality of medical treatment’ are to become the crucial issues of the future. Up until today, the focus within pharmaceutical education has been on basic pharmaceutics intended for the development of pharmaceuticals. However, we believe that in the future, in the field of medical treatment, there will be a strong need to train pharmacists so as to they can handle pharmaceuticals for the prevention of illnesses, for diagnosis, therapy and health improvement in an effective, safe and responsible way.

At the School of Pharmacy of Aichi Gakuin University, we strive to train pharmacists to become specialists with a rich and humane personality and a high ethical standpoint, whilst developing a comprehensive fundamental knowledge of pharmaceuticals enabling them to practically apply pharmaceuticals appropriately and to provide adequate information on them. The career paths of graduates from the School of Pharmacy are manifold; yet the specialised knowledge mentioned above proves to be extremely beneficial not only in work environments like hospitals and pharmacies but also when they engage with the research and development of pharmaceuticals.

The School offers an outstanding and unique learning facility: a model“Pharmacy Practice Center” for the training of students that includes a computer- network facility for literature search, state-of-the-art dispensing equipments, a model ward, an aseptic preparation room etc. We guarantee our students permanent access to extensive teaching and research resources in line with the overall scholarly reputation and achievements of our faculty. Furthermore, the faculties of the School of Dentistry and School of Psychosomatic Science contribute to our curriculum thus adding further comprehensive components to it.

We are looking forward to your enquiries regarding a challenging career in Pharmacy and our academic program.
