This profession has knowledge of identification, selection, preservation, combination, pharmacological action, analysis and standardization of drugs and medicinal materials, as well as proper and safe distribution, storage and use. In other words, those who work in the pharmaceutical field are drug experts who master the science and knowledge of drugs in depth from all aspects.

Pharmacy UI was established and began accepting the first batch of students in September 1965. The department, which was originally located on Jl. Diponegoro, Central Jakarta, was incorporated into a faculty that was originally named the Fakultas Ilmu Pasti dan Ilmu Alam (FIPIA) which then based on Presidential Decree No. 44 of 1982 changed to the Fakultas Matematika dan Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam (FMIPA). From 1971 to 1977, the Department of Pharmacy was located behind the Faculty of Economics at Jl. Salemba Raya No. 4, Central Jakarta, and from 1977 to 1987 it occupied the building behind the UI Rectorate building at Jl. Salemba Raya No. 4, Central Jakarta. In 1987, the Department of Pharmacy occupied building D FMIPA UI together with the Department of Mathematics at the New Campus of the Universitas Indonesia, Depok. Since 2000, in addition to occupying building D, the administrative activities of the Department of Pharmacy are centered in Building C FMIPA UI.

At the time of the move to Depok (1987), the Department of Pharmacy only managed the Bachelor's Program (S1) and Pharmacist Program with approximately 200 students and 30 lecturers.

With the issuance of Government Regulation No. 152 of 2000, 2001 was the beginning of a new era for Universitas Indonesia as a State-Owned Legal Entity (BHMN). With this new status, substantially all Study Programs within the Universitas Indonesia underwent fundamental changes, becoming research-based universities, managed more independently and professionally. Based on the Decree of the Board of Trustees (MWA) of the Universitas Indonesia No. 01/SK/MWA-UI/2003, dated January 18, 2003, concerning ART-UI, the Department of Pharmacy FMIPA UI has been renamed to the Department of Pharmacy FMIPA UI.

Furthermore, in order to support the establishment of an integrated Health Sciences Group within the Universitas Indonesia, based on the Decree of the Rector of the Universitas Indonesia No. 2408A/SK/R/2011, dated November 29, 2011, concerning the Opening of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Universitas Indonesia, the Department of Pharmacy FMIPA UI changed to the Faculty of Pharmacy of Universitas Indonesia (FF UI).

Currently, the Faculty of Pharmacy of Universitas Indonesia manages 5 study programs with the following specializations:
