Vision
The vision of Pharmaceutics department is to be focusing on innovative work in research and education that related to pharmaceutics and drug delivery to achieve the superiority in this respect.
Mission
The mission of Pharmaceutics department involved two targets, one related to education and training mission and other related to research and innovation mission. The first target attained by offering undergraduate and postgraduate students with essential knowledge for understanding the physicochemical and biopharmaceutical aspects of dosage form design, evaluation and manufacturing. Whereas the second target accomplished by performing and directing new knowledge to external partners to amend drug delivery and patients care.

Title of the course: Physical Pharmacy I
Credit hours: Theory 2 hours Laboratory 1 hour
Reference book:: Physical Pharmacy by Alfred Martin et al.
Depart. Of pharmaceutics
Level: 2nd Year, 1st Semester
Objectives:
To understand the application of quantitative and theoretical principles of the physical characters of matter to the practice of pharmacy. It helps the pharmacist predict the solubility, compatibility and biological activity of drug products. As a result of this knowledge, it is helpful in the development of new drugs and dosage forms as well as in the improvement of various modes of administration.
| NO. | SUBJECTS | HOURES |
| 1 | States of matter, binding forces between molecules, gases,liquids, solid and crystalline matters; phase equilibria and phase rule; thermal analysis. | 10 |
| 2 | Thermodynamics, first law, thermochemistry, second law,third law, free energy function and applications. | 8 |
| 3 | Solutions of non-electrolytes, properties, ideal and real colligative properties, molecular weight determination. | 7 |
| 4 | Solution of electrolytes, properties, Arrhenius theory of dissociation, theory of strong electrolytes, ionic strength, Debye-Huchle theory, coefficients for expressing colligative properties. | 5 |
| 5 | Ionic equilibria, modern theories of acids, bases and salts, acid-baseequilibria, calculation of pH, acidity constants, the effect of ionic strength and free energy. | 8 |
| 6 | Buffered and isotonic solutions: Buffer equation; buffer capacity; methods of adjusting tonicity and pH; buffer and biological system. | 7 |
