ACPE Accreditation: Empowering FUE Pharmacy Graduates for Global Success

At Future University in Egypt (FUE), we believe that true academic excellence goes hand-in-hand with international recognition. That’s why the Faculty of Pharmacy is proud to be Internationally Accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) — the leading pharmacy education accrediting body based in the United States.

What is ACPE?

The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) is a U.S.-based, globally recognized organization that ensures pharmacy programs meet the highest standards of educational quality. ACPE International Accreditation signals that a program is well-structured, clinically relevant, and globally competitive.

FUE’s Faculty of Pharmacy has achieved International Accreditation (online evaluation) from ACPE — a testament to the quality of our curriculum, facilities, teaching, and student outcomes.

Why ACPE Accreditation Matters for You

1. Global Recognition of Your Degree
ACPE accreditation means your degree is evaluated according to international academic and clinical benchmarks. This increases its value, credibility, and acceptance across borders — whether you're applying for jobs, pursuing postgraduate studies, or applying for licensure abroad.

2. Streamlined Path to Licensure in Canada
Thanks to recent changes by the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC), international graduates from ACPE-accredited institutions like FUE are now eligible for:

    Exemption from the PEBC Evaluating Exam

    Direct admission to the Canadian Pharmacist Qualifying Exam (MCQ)

This update shortens the certification process and opens real career opportunities in the Canadian healthcare system.

3. Career Mobility in the Gulf and Beyond
Many employers and regulators in the Gulf region and internationally recognize ACPE-accredited programs as indicators of professional readiness. This gives FUE graduates a competitive edge in a highly mobile and globalized job market.

4. Assurance of Educational Quality
Studying at an ACPE-accredited faculty means you’re learning in a program that meets strict international standards in curriculum design, practical training, faculty qualifications, and student support.
