The School of Pharmacy at the University of Waterloo (UW) is the first new pharmacy school in Canada in 21 years and the first in Ontario since 1953. The School is committed to expanding the frontiers of discovery to improve human health and well-being. Key to realizing this goal is the establishment of a rigorous graduate program of innovative, interdisciplinary and collaborative research in all aspects of pharmacy.
Subdisciplines within pharmacy range broadly from those grounded fundamentally in chemistry and biology to those linked intimately with the treatment of patients. As such, our Graduate Program in Pharmacy has been guided by an acknowledgement of the foundation of the discipline in the pure sciences as well as its centrality within the medical and other healthcare science professions.
