Admission & Prerequisites
This graduate honours course is available to those students who hold a degree in pharmacy. Honours students are normally expected to have a credit grade point average. Honours applicants below credit average will be considered based on a combination of their academic record and relevant experience after graduation (minimum 3 years).
Course Objectives
The Honours course aims to provide experience and training in research in pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical science or pharmacology. This overall objective is served by the following goals: to extend knowledge and understanding in specific topics of interest in pharmacy and related sciences, to improve skills in critically evaluating the literature and communicating effectively in science, to learn certain research methods and techniques, to develop the ability to plan and carry out a research project, and to prepare a report on the results. Honours students specialize in a particular field of study and at the same time are exposed to the great range of opportunities for undertaking higher degrees and following careers in pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical science.
