The prerequisite for entry to the honours year is a Bachelor of Pharmacy pass or honours degree with (a) a credit grade or higher in the final-year subject chosen for honours studies; or (b) an average overall credit grade or higher in the final year of the course; or (c) another degree which, in the opinion of the college board, is suitable preparation for the candidate's proposed field of study with a similar standard of entry as stated above; or (d) qualifications and experience which, in the opinion of the college board, are a suitable preparation for the candidate's field of study.
The
honours degree of Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science (BPharmSc(Hons)) course
consists of compulsory coursework and supervised research undertaken in any of
the departments at the college.
The compulsory coursework, including an induction program, consists of a core
course taken by all candidates (statistics, computer science) and topics
applicable to the research interests of the student. The supervised research
can be based in any area that falls within the interests of the college
departments (Pharmaceutics, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Biology and
Pharmacology, Pharmacy Practice). With permission of the college's graduate
studies committee, it may also be possible to undertake a portion of the
research at an external location (a hospital, industrial laboratory, etc.). If
a substantial portion of the research work is to be carried out in an external
institution, the graduate studies committee might require a person within that
institution to act as an associate supervisor. The college supervisor is
responsible for the overall research program at an academic level.
As outlined above, the major element of the course is a supervised research
project which will be assessed on the basis of oral presentations (background
to the project and the results obtained), and a written thesis incorporating a
literature review.
