Summary

In each year of the MPharm there is a Professional Competencies Assessment Block. All the associated Learning Outcomes required by a pharmacy graduate are taught in Teaching Blocks. The Professional Competencies Assessment Block are a mechanism for the Head of Year to confirm that key elements of the course have been assessed and passed.

These are zero-credit assessment blocks that do not contribute to the marks of students. However, it is a requirement of progression to years 2, 3, 4 and to graduation that these modules are passed with a mark of 100%.

All content is delivered in credit bearing teaching blocks.
