Welcome to Goa College of Pharmacy !!!

Pharmacy profession in Goa is the oldest in the Indian subcontinent. The first ever Pharmacy course was introduced along with the medical course in 1842 at the old Portuguese school known as "Escola Medica  de Goa" and later named  as "Escola     Medica    Cirurgica    de    Goa". The   Pharmacists (farmaceuticos) and Doctors ( Medica Cirurgiao) were educated and trained in the same medical school and they had almost the same status in the Goan society.

In the year 1963,after  liberation of Goa in 1961, the institute was renamed as " GOA COLLEGE OF PHARMACY"  and shifted to the present premises which was formerly a Portuguese school. This  pharmacy course was upgraded to a full   fledged   degree course of Bachelor of Pharmacy under  University   of Bombay. Later in 1970, the college was recognized  for Master's degree in Pharmacy entirely by Research, under University of Bombay. 

A Post-graduate course in Pharmacology has been introduced from August 2003.

The college is now affiliated to Goa University and approved by a Pharmacy Council of India(PCI) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi and is run by Government of Goa.

The Goa College of Pharmacy, is selected as a Replication Institute under Canada India Institute Industry Linkage Project (CIIILP) in order  to bring about an all-round development and to respond to the changing needs of the industry effectively.
