Introduction
The Pharmacy Faculty was established in 1966. The faculty prepares the students for a career in pharmacy with a thorough understanding of drugs and diseases. The curriculum promotes interaction between pharmacists and other health professionals. The pharmacy curriculum offers a professional five-year program leading to a Pharmaceutical Degree.
Teaching Method
Pharmacy is taught in semesters, each of them ending in examinations or project presentations. Studies consist of lectures (30 percent of the curriculum) and seminars/practical sessions, which are the main teaching methods and constitute 70 percent of the entire curriculum. Each course includes lectures, seminars, laboratory work, small group work, practice-based activities, and assignments. Using the body systems model as an integrated context for teaching, the curriculum is designed to break down barriers between disciplines, helping students to learn more effectively. Teaching is integrated, facilitating students’ exposure to basic and applied science and professional practice in the context of patient care. This will be supported by an increasing focus on practice-related learning, as evidenced by placements and in-house simulation-based learning, as well as additional practice experience provided in-house.
