Welcome to the Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University (FOPCU)—an institution that honors its celebrated past while striving toward an ever-brighter future. Since its founding nearly two centuries ago, FOPCU has been a cornerstone of Pharmacy education in the region, shaping healthcare professionals, researchers, and innovators whose influence extends across Egypt and beyond.

Here at FOPCU, we are guided by a vision that blends tradition with ambition. Our heritage provides a firm foundation upon which we build, but it is our future that calls to us. The challenges facing healthcare and pharmaceutical sciences grow increasingly complex, and we embrace these challenges as opportunities to lead, to innovate, and to inspire.

Education at FOPCU is more than the transfer of knowledge; it is the cultivation of inquiry, ethics, and leadership. Our programs are designed not only to prepare students for the demands of today’s pharmaceutical landscape but to empower them to shape the landscape of tomorrow. Through an emphasis on critical thinking, innovation, and a commitment to lifelong learning, we equip our graduates to thrive in an interconnected, rapidly evolving world.

Research remains a cornerstone of our mission. Within our labs and classrooms, ideas are transformed into discoveries that contribute to the global advancement of pharmaceutical sciences and public health. FOPCU fosters an environment where curiosity drives progress, and where interdisciplinary collaboration fuels solutions to the most pressing scientific and healthcare challenges of our time.

As we look ahead, our focus is resolutely on growth—both as an institution and as a community. Through partnerships with industry, academic alliances, and community engagement, FOPCU seeks to amplify its impact and extend its reach. Whether through initiatives that address public health priorities, sustainability efforts that safeguard our shared future, or programs that bridge the gap between academia and industry, we remain committed to our role as a force for positive change.

This Faculty is more than its history; it is a living, evolving institution. To be part of FOPCU is to join a community united by shared purpose and boundless potential. It is to be part of a legacy defined not just by what has been achieved, but by the promise of what is yet to come.

To our students, researchers, partners, and alumni: you are the stewards of this future. Together, we will continue to build, to innovate, and to lead with integrity and purpose.
