What Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Gadjah Mada does

Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Gadjah Mada (Fakultas Farmasi UGM) is an academic unit of Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia's premier public university, established in 1946 and headquartered in Sleman, Special Region of Yogyakarta. It delivers comprehensive pharmaceutical education across six formal study programs spanning undergraduate (Sarjana Farmasi), professional pharmacist training (Profesi Apoteker), three master's programs (Pharmaceutical Sciences, Clinical Pharmacy, Pharmacy Management), and doctoral level, supplemented by International Undergraduate Program (IUP), Fast Track accelerated degree, and Double Degree international programs. The faculty operates four departments (Pharmaceutical Biology, Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacology & Clinical Pharmacy) and 6–7 specialized research centers including the Curcumin Research Center, Cancer Chemoprevention Research Center, Drug Targeting and Personalized Medicine Research Center, Pharmacoeconomy and Health Technology Assessment Research Center, and the Center of Excellent Therapeutic Drug Monitoring. Research infrastructure spans the Advanced Pharmaceutical Sciences Learning Center (APSLC), the Advanced Pharmaceutical Sciences Laboratory (APS), Pharmacy Hall Community Center (PHCC), ISO-certified testing laboratories, and zebrafish research facilities at UGM's Integrated Research and Testing Laboratory (LPPT). The faculty also manages four Scopus-indexed journals and maintains academic systems including SIMASTER and the Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD) repository.

The institution operates as a non-commercial state academic entity funded through Indonesian government budget allocations, tuition, and research grants, providing educational services, research outputs, and community health programs rather than commercial products. Revenue is not generated from sales; ancillary income may derive from ISO-certified laboratory testing services for external clients and industry-sponsored research collaborations. Its customer base comprises three primary segments: domestic and international pharmacy students (sourced through UGM's centralized UM UGM admission system and IUP), pharmaceutical industry and healthcare institutions (partners such as PT Infinisia Sumber Semesta, PT Mensa Group, Beacons Pharmaceutical Industries, BPOM, and Japanese universities for research, internships, and graduate recruitment), and the general public (reached through community health screenings and the Equal Run 2025 event that drew 1,200+ participants).

The faculty maintains active international linkages with institutions in Japan (University of Toyama, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Kanazawa University, JICA), the Netherlands (Leiden University), and Germany (GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel), supporting student mobility, joint research, and visiting-professor programs. Notable recent deepening includes a 2026 partnership with Leiden University for zebrafish laboratory development and a collaboration with BPOM on 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) guidelines for ethical biological product testing. Leadership is structured around Dean Prof. Dr. apt. Satibi, M.Si., with Vice Deans overseeing Academic and Student Affairs (Prof. Dr. apt. Nanang Munif Yasin), Research and Community Service (Prof. Dr.rer.nat. apt. Nanang Fakhrudin), and Senate Chair Prof. Dr. apt. Zullies Ikawati.
