1st Year modules:

At the start of the first year, students are invited into an orientation programme to be introduced to various units an operations of institution, familiarise them with the administration, rules of the institution, student and general organisations and campus layout. Personal development of the students will be prompted through social, academic, computer literacy skills and proficiency in English for health sciences.

The first year curriculum introduces students to professional regulations, Good Pharmacy Practice and pharmaceutical management cycle. An introduction to principles of organic and inorganic chemistry that are applied in the synthesis of drugs during second, third levels, concepts of bio-pharmaceutics (including pharmacokinetics and dynamics) applied at advanced levels in the determination of dose regimens, introduction to microbiological aspects of medicines. Students are introduced to the concept of experiential learning at Primary Health Care level. Students are expected to complete the following modules:

2nd Year modules:

Second year involves 6 modules, 3 are clinical/pharmacology based and the rest are non-clinical based modules. The module content of the clinical/pharmacology based modules is system based according to the major organ in the body, and divided into a number of interdisciplinary blocks and organised according to basic science such as anatomy, biochemistry chemistry and physiology; major disease process (pathology and pathophysiology), diagnosis and pharmacotherapy and health promotions. While the integrity of each subject area remains intact, these modules are integrated with relevant principles of chemistry, pharmacy practice, bio-pharmaceutics and pharmaceutics.

The 3 non-clinical modules provide an overview of pharmaceutical technology, with emphasis on Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), unit operations in the manufacture of dosage forms through to the large scale production, packaging of medicines and submission to the relevant health authorities for production licence and marketing. From this programme students will acquire pharmaceutical manufacturing skills through experiential learning at various pharmaceutical industries. Second year students will be expected to complete the following modules:

3rd Year modules:

Third year modules are similar to second year with 3 clinical and 3 non-clinical modules. The clinical/pharmacology modules are framed with features similar to the clinical modules in second level. The non-clinical modules are more advanced and the content is specific to the pharmaceutics and pharmacy practice. These modules give specific knowledge on manufacturing of sterile pharmaceuticals, modern technologies such as biotechnology used in drug discovery, development and analysis. Theory related to administration, management of community pharmacy with focus on laws governing pharmacy practice will be dealt in detail, while the theory will be put into practice through experiential leaning at a community pharmacy. Third year students will be expected to complete the following modules.

4th Year modules:

Fourth year modules cover specialised topics such as first-aid, renal and oncology pharmacy, while a greater focus is on administration and management of hospital pharmacy. Hospital pharmacy based modules cover the application of pharmacy practice and pharmacotherapy principles learned from first level through experiential leaning at a hospital pharmacy setup. The pharmacology modules are more case study based at various clinical settings such as hospital wards. Students will be introduced to research through the selection of a basic research project in their field of interest. The research module introduces research methodology, writing research proposal to collecting data and submitting a research report of findings. Fourth year students will be expected to complete the following modules:
