Engagement in undergraduate research helps students develop analytical and critical thinking skills that are crucial for their future careers. It is essential to equip pharmacy students with the necessary knowledge, skills, and motivation to engage in research and apply innovative findings to clinical practice. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the value of research among undergraduate pharmacy students and to understand their perceptions of its importance and challenges. The study was conducted over three months and involved 384 students from two different public sector universities in Jamshoro, Sindh. A convenient sampling technique was used, and data were collected from fourth- and final-year students at the targeted universities. The results of the study revealed that 53.39% of the participants were male and 46.61% were female. A total of 78.65% were between the ages of 21 and 23 years, with 54.69% from urban areas and 39.06% from rural areas. Of the 384 students, 96% considered research valuable, while 85% disagreed with the notion that research is theoretical and has no benefit for the common person. Moreover, 67% of the students considered publishing in a peer-reviewed journal to be a good source of recognition. Regarding the benefits of research, 41% of students strongly agreed that it boosts their professional profile, while 37% strongly agreed that it helps in a pharmacy career. This study revealed that undergraduate students generally possess a good level of knowledge and understanding of research and recognize its future advantages. Moreover, many students expressed a strong interest in participating in undergraduate research projects, although they also identified challenges such as the need for supervision and resources. These findings suggest that there is potential for increased research engagement among students if the research environment is enhanced. Therefore, there is a need for academicians and policymakers to consider ways to support and improve the research opportunities and infrastructure for undergraduate students in universities.
