Bachelor of Pharmacy 藥劑學學士
BPharm
Short Description
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 for effective, humane and ethical delivery of pharmaceutical care. They will contribute both to the profession of pharmacy and to the overall health of the patient body by adopting the highest standard of professional practice.
Clinical Pharmacy
With the support of Queen Mary Hospital, students studying at HKU enjoy early clinical exposure and also benefit from the inter-professional collaboration of pharmacists and clinicians through bedside teaching and outpatient clinics.
Patient Counselling and Communication Skills
A key characteristic of the programme is to enhance students’ proficiency in providing primary health care services, including patient education. Students have various opportunities to acquire patient counselling and communication skills step-by-step with a gradual increase in the degree of mastery and in the complexity of the situations encountered.
New Learning Approaches
As an area of strength of the Medical Faculty, the problem-based learning (“PBL”) approach is adopted to encourage interdisciplinary inquiry and foster life-long learning skills.
Exposure to Chinese Medicine as well as Complementary and Alternative Medicine
The programme equips future pharmacists who practise in Hong Kong with the knowledge of Chinese Medicine as well as Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAM), which are commonly used by many patients in conjunction with Western medicines.
Training in Industrial Pharmacy
Students have the opportunity to experience the local industry for professional pharmacy service. A wide spectrum of topics on the practical aspects related to industrial pharmacy is taught by experts with extensive work experience in the industry.
Opportunity for Interprofessional Learning
With the opportunity to learn together with students from medicine, nursing and Chinese medicine programmes, these interprofessional learning activities will utilise the expertise of students from different backgrounds and foster cooperation.
