HISTORY
Pharmacy is one of the first sciences taught at the University of Athens.
On May 18, 1835, a Royal Decree was signed for the establishment in Athens of a “Theoretical and Practical Teaching House of Surgery, Medicine and Pharmacopoeia”, exactly one year before the Royal Decree of 1836, which established the University of Athens.
On July 15, 1838, a “Chair of Pharmacology” was established in the Medical School, providing the diploma of Pharmacist.
In 1843 the ‘Pharmaceutical School’ was founded, which was directed by the Dean of the Medical School.
In 1905 the School of Pharmacy was detached from the Faculty of Medicine and attached to the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics.
It rejoins the Medical School in 1911 and in 1922 returns as the “Pharmacy School” to the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics.
In 1982 it was attached as the “Department of Pharmacy” to the Faculty of Health Sciences. Since 1990, by the decision of the Council of State No. 32/90, which annulled the Decree 410/87 on the establishment of the Faculty of Health Sciences, the Department of Pharmacy has been independent.
Following the Decree 85/2013 (Government Gazette 124/A/3-6-2013), the Department of Pharmacy was incorporated into the Faculty of Health Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences.
The teaching of Pharmacy began in the Royal Pharmacy at the corner of Akademias and Vas. Sofias streets, while the first official Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Chemistry was established in 1837 and was located in the basement of the University and in 1866 it was moved to two rooms on the ground floor.
In 1869, the so-called “Pharmaceutical Care Centre” was founded and located in the three north-eastern basements of the University.
In 1870 the first Chemistry Department was built in the courtyard of the Papadopoulou House at the corner of Akademias and Massalias Streets and in 1928 it was moved to Solonos Street. This building was built in 1890, destroyed by fire in 1910 and reopened in 1913.
Since 1992 the Department of Pharmacy has been housed in the building complex of the Faculty of Sciences on the campus. The first, Chair of Pharmacy was Pharmaceutical Chemistry, and in 1932 the Chair of Pharmacognosy was established. The Chair of Pharmaceutical Technology was established much later, in 1979.
By Law 1268 of ’82 these chairs were renamed as Sections
