Welcome to RAKCOP

Pharmacy Education Built on Practice & Research

RAK College of Pharmacy (RAKCOP) commenced its B.Pharm program in 2007–2008 following accreditation by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) and the UAE Ministry of Education. From an initial cohort of 22 students, the college has grown steadily, and its programs have been re-accredited by the CAA.

Today RAKCOP offers a full pathway in the pharmaceutical sciences — from the Bachelor of Pharmacy through Master’s specializations in Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences to PhD research streams — supported by a practice school, modern laboratories and partnerships with industry, hospitals and international universities.
