The university has established the ‘School of Pharmaceutical Sciences’ in 2001 as a constituent school and committed to launch undergraduate, postgraduate and the research degrees in health sciences. Initially, the school has started four years Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Sciences (B. Pharm) program under the banner of ‘the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences’. With the addition of undergraduate program in laboratory science (BSc MLT) in 2003, the name was modified as “School of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences”. With the further expansion of academic programs in Bachelor in Public Health (BPH) and Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSc Nursing) in 2009, the school was renamed as School of Health and Allied Sciences. At present, SHAS is one of the young, dynamic centre for academic excellence in Nepal. It offers four to five years undergraduate and two to three years post-graduate programs in health sciences. We have plan to launch master level courses in medical laboratory sciences, nursing sciences, extension of specializations in pharmaceutical sciences and public health; ungergaduate programs in radiology, dental sciences, optometry, modern and alternative medicines.

Recently, School has launched Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2018. Now, the school has five undergraduate programs and two master level programs in Pharmaceutical sciences and Public Health with two areas of specializations namely Master of Pharmaceutical Sciences (Natural Products Chemistry and Clinical Pharmacy) and Master of Public Health (Public Health Service Management and Health Promotion and Education). The school is moving towards the fulfillment of its vision “production of skilled and qualified human resources in the field of medical and paramedical sciences”

Teaching-learning activities are facilitated by modern technologies. Class room are equipped with multimedia projectors, models and items; laboratories are equipped with chemicals, advanced equipments and diagnostics; filed visits are organized for the students to make their exposures to different industries and governmental and non-governmental organizations; offer practical in government and non government medical college teaching hospitals and specialized hospitals. We offer several residential and concurrent field practices in different communities and we do organize several outreach programs to socialize and understand the community needs.  In addition, we are in the process of aligning with the Quality Assessment and Accreditation (QAA) system of University Grants Commission, Nepal. In Nepal, QAA certification is considered as one of the hallmarks of the quality in education institution as a whole. Our faculties, staff and the students are taking the advantages of more than sixty memorandum of understandings signed with different universities and organizations across the globe.
