Hello, Sarah. You mentioned in your question that you want to know about the subjects that are taught in Bachelors of Pharmacy. Being popularly known as B.Pharm or B.Pharma, it is a 4-year undergraduate programme in the field of Pharmacy (or Pharmaceutical Science) education. After the completion of B.Pharm, a student can opt for higher studies in the field of Pharmacy i.e. Masters of Pharmacy (M.Pharm) which is a 2-year Postgraduate course.

Anyway, coming back to B,Pharm. The course is divided into 8 semesters - 4 Odd Semesters/Winter Semesters and 4 Even Semesters/Summer Semesters.

In Semester - 1 , the subjects to be taught are Human Anatomy and Physiology - I , Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry, Pharmaceutics - I (Dispensing Pharmacy), Pharmaceutical Analysis ( which is Analytical Chemistry), English Communication Skills (Sessional/Non-University Paper), Remedial Mathematics/Biology ( Sessional/Non-University Paper).

In Semester - 2, the subjects included are Human Anatomy and Physiology - II, Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry - I, Biochemistry, Pathophysiology,  Computer Applications in Pharmacy (Sessional/Non-University Paper), Environmental Studies (Sessional/Non-University Paper).

In Semester - 3, the subjects to be introduced are Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry - II, Physical Pharmaceutics - I (a.k.a Physical Pharmacy - I), Pharmaceutical Microbiology, Pharmaceutical Engineering.

In Semester - 4, the subjects to be taught are Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry - III, Industrial Pharmacy - I, Physical Pharmaceutics - II (a.k.a Physical Pharmacy - II), Pharmacology - I, Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry - I.

In Semester - 5, the subjects involved are Medicinal Chemistry - I, Medicinal Chemistry - II, Pharmacology - II, Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry - II, Pharmaceutical Jurisprudence.

In Semester - 6, the subjects prescribed are Medicinal Chemistry - III, Pharmacology - III, Herbal Drug Technology, Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics, Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Quality Assurance.

In Semester - 7, the subjects included are Instrumental Methods of Analysis ( another paper of Analytical Chemistry), Industrial Pharmacy - II, Pharmacy Practice, Novel Drug Delivery System, Practice School (Sessional/Non-University Paper).

In Semester - 8, the subjects to be taught are Biostatistics and Research Methodology, Social and Preventive Pharmacy, OPTIONAL ELECTIVES (2 papers to be chosen from - Pharma Marketing Management, Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science, Pharmacovigilance, Quality Control and Standardization of Herbals, Computer Aided Drug Design, Cell and Molecular Biology, Cosmetic Science, Experimental Pharmacology, Advanced Instrumentation Techniques, Dietary Supplements and Nutraceuticals ), Project Work (Capstone Project).

Graduates' Pharmacy Aptitute Test (GPAT) is conducted by National Testing Agency, all over India, typically in the month of January every year. Through GPAT, one can get scholarship from Government of India to pursue further studies from reputed Pharmacy Institutes, all over India as well as can get qualified to write NIPER-JEE, to make there way to NIPER (India's best chain of Pharmacy Colleges and Research Institutes.)

In GPAT, one should have clear knowledge on all the subjects taught in B.Pharm, although the subjects which need special attention are Pharmaceutics and related subjects (Dispensing Pharmacy, Physical Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Novel Drug Delivery System, Pharmaceutical Jurisprudence), Pharmacology, Biopharmaceutics, Pharmacognosy, Pharmaceutical Chemistry (e specially Organic Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Analysis, Instrumental Methods of Analysis and Medicinal Chemistry).

Minor papers to be focused on are Pharmaceutical Microbiology, Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Biochemistry and Pathophysiology.
