University of Santo Tomas Manila - UST (reviews)

As a pharmacy student at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) in the Philippines, my educational journey has been nothing short of transformative. UST stands as an institution with a rich history and a commitment to excellence, and this is profoundly reflected in its pharmacy program.

First and foremost, UST’s pharmacy curriculum is comprehensive, covering a wide array of subjects crucial for a well-rounded pharmaceutical education. From foundational courses in chemistry and biology to specialized studies in pharmacology and medicinal chemistry, the program equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the field. The emphasis on practical training through laboratory work, internships, and clinical rotations further enhances our understanding and prepares us for real-world challenges.

One of the standout aspects of studying pharmacy at UST is the emphasis on professionalism and ethics. The university instills in its students a strong sense of responsibility and integrity, emphasizing the importance of ethical conduct in all aspects of pharmacy practice. This emphasis on values-based education not only shapes us into competent professionals but also instills in us a deep sense of social responsibility.

A great school if youre majoring in pre-med or in any science field. Learning in this university can be hard and competitive, but the people you come along with are nice. The faculties are experts in their fields but security guards can be strict

The University of Santo Tomas is one of the leading institutions in the Philippines and globally. I took up journalism, and it made me develop a competent, accurate, and cohesive writing style that requires responsibility in reporting. What I dislike about my major is that some subjects are outdated, and I believe that they require technology. Schoolwork is sometimes heavy, i.e., reading materials. On the other hand, deadlines are not an issue. The university itself is a great platform to learn regardless of what course or major to take, so I highly recommend it.

UST offers a wide range of service that could be helpful to students struggling in academic and social aspect. Though some of the classrooms would be outdated, it would still be better than what other universities offer.
