Temple University School of Pharmacy has partnered with Amity University - Uttar Pradesh (AUUP) to offer a global pathway to advanced degrees in pharmaceutical sciences. Through this 1+1 dual degree program, students complete their first year at Amity's campus in Noida, India, and their second year at Temple University in Philadelphia, United States. Upon successful completion, students earn master's degrees from both institutions, combining Amity's rigorous pharmaceutical sciences curriculum with Temple's world-class research and industry connections.
Students may pursue the dual degree in Drug Delivery, Drug Discovery, or Pharmacokinetics. Each program is non-thesis-based and designed to prepare graduates for careers in pharmaceutical and biotech companies, contract research organizations, regulatory agencies, and academia.
Admitted students receive a 24.5% discount on Temple University out-of-state tuition, and graduates may be eligible for a 24-month STEM OPT extension, which provides significant time to launch a career in the United States after graduation.
Philadelphia sits at the heart of one of the largest life sciences corridors in the world. Temple Pharmacy students benefit from direct access to that ecosystem through faculty mentorship, hands-on research training, and a global network of alumni.
