The course is highly integrated, with the content and learning outcomes of each subject linked with the others in the course to provide students with continuity of learning and a thorough understanding of the sciences underpinning pharmacy practice and experience in applying concepts learnt in real-life situations. The course aims to incorporate educational technologies to facilitate student-based learning and reflect the postgraduate level of learning. Problem-based learning is also a major component of the course, preparing students for the workplace.
