Programme Introduction
The Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) programme aims to nurture competent graduates with solid knowledge of pharmacy as well as abilities to apply the core knowledge and skills effectively, humanely and ethically when it comes to the delivery of pharmaceutical care. By adopting the highest standard of professional practice, our graduates will contribute tremendously to the pharmacy sector and its professionalism as well as the general health and well-being of the patient community.
Pharmacy Enrichment Experiences in Hong Kong and beyond via International Exchange Programme
The Enrichment Module will encourage pharmacy students to seek tailored placement at either academic institutions or non-profit community service organisations. The programme aims to encourage social-minded students to translate knowledge into practice, contribute to society, and broaden their horizons beyond pharmacy while establishing their interpersonal networks across different sectors and professions. Our BPharm students also have the opportunity to participate in an international exchange programme.
Pharmacy Experiential Education Programme (PEEP)
The Pharmacy Experiential Education Programme (PEEP) under the Bachelor of Pharmacy curriculum is well-structured with experiential learning experience. Students shall complete on-site placements in different pharmacy practice settings outside the classrooms under the supervision of pharmacist preceptors.
