The research aimed to compare the academic components of pharmacy education programs between higher education institutions in Ukraine and various EU countries, with a focus on their development. The research examined pharmacy programs offered by universities in Ukraine, Italy, Poland, Sweden, and Germany, using methods such as analytical-comparative analysis, content analysis, systematic review, meta-analysis, logical reasoning, decomposition, and modeling. The study highlighted both similarities and differences in aspects such as the title, structure, content, and workload across pharmacy education programs in Ukraine and the EU. The research also defined key criteria for the distinctiveness and orientation of these programs, reflecting unique training approaches for different levels of qualification. It emphasized the role of European integration processes in shaping the educational framework for pharmacy in Ukraine, especially regarding students’ learning in this area. The results suggest that the findings can serve as a basis for refining and adapting pharmacy education programs in Ukraine, facilitating their alignment with EU standards under the Bologna Process, and contributing to the development of a unified European higher education system.
