Faculty of Pharmacy is proud of being the first academic member accepted by International Pharmacy Federation (FIP) from Cyprus Island and the second one among the Faculties of Pharmacy throughout Turkey. Our faculty is also represented through EMUPSS (Eastern Mediterranean University Pharmacy Students Society) as a member association of ''The International Pharmaceutical Students' Federation'' (IPSF) offering Student Exchange Programme. This allows our students the opportunity to conduct clinical and community pharmacy practice in different countries. At the same time, with the same organization our faculty has hosted pharmacy students from around the world.
