Addis Ababa University
speciality: Pharmacy & Pharmacology

To begin with the positive feedback, I like the fact that the education is of high standard, as compared to other universities in the country. My negative feedback is with regard to the teaching methodology. It is very boring. We were also taught off irrelevant information, which can not be applied in the country’s current context.

I really enjoyed my time at [University Name]. The Pharmacy program is very well‐structured, with a strong focus on pathophysiology and hands-on lab work that helped me consolidate complex concepts. Professors were approachable and passionate—especially Dr. Smith in Pharmacotherapy, whose real-world case discussions made lectures come alive.

The campus life is vibrant: there are active student clubs (I joined the Clinical Pharmacy Society), modern study spaces, and plenty of group-study rooms. Career services organized mock interviews and networking events that were invaluable for securing my current internship.

On the downside, some large lecture halls felt impersonal, and the online portal for registering courses can be slow during peak times. A few of the elective offerings overlapped in schedule, so planning your timetable takes some extra effort.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this university to anyone looking for a rigorous, clinically focused pharmacy education—just be prepared to take charge of your own scheduling and get involved early in student groups!
