Study System:
The Bachelor of Pharmacy program follows a five-year duration consisting of five levels, structured according to the semester system, encompassing ten semesters in total. In the final year, students engage in a comprehensive field training program, which involves practical work and training in community pharmacies as well as institutional facilities such as hospitals and factories. This training program spans a duration of 26 weeks, amounting to a total of 650 hours, distributed across two semesters.
During the first semester of the fifth year, students undertake 325 hours of training. This equates to 5 hours of training per day, 5 days per week, for a period of 13 weeks. This training is divided into 250 hours dedicated to community pharmacy training, and the remaining 75 hours allocated to training in pharmaceutical factories.
The second semester of the fifth year comprises an additional 13 weeks, with 5 hours of training per day and 5 days per week. The training hours are divided into 250 hours for training in hospitals and their associated pharmacies, and 75 hours for training in healthcare centers.
Each academic level or year is divided into two semesters, allowing for a comprehensive and well-structured curriculum. As outlined in the program document for the 2018/2019 academic year, the Bachelor of Pharmacy program entails the completion of 180 credit hours. It is worth noting that the first training program consists of 3 credit hours according to the study plan, corresponding to 25 training hours per week over a period of 13 weeks. This structure also applies to the second training program.
The learning process in the program encompasses various methodologies, including theoretical lectures conducted in classrooms, interactive discussion panels, practical lessons, field exercises, research activities, and presentations. Additionally, based on the nature of specific academic courses, the College Council may decide to adopt a hybrid learning method for certain courses, provided it is deemed appropriate.
