與內外全科醫學士銜接 八年擁兩專業學位

由本年度(2019/2020)起，香港大學藥劑學學士課程會提供與香港大學內外全科醫學士的銜接安排。成績優異的藥劑學學士課程學生在完成三年級上學期課程後，可在下學期選修內外全科醫學士課程。完成藥劑學學士課程而能符合內外全科醫學士入學條件的學生可直接入讀香港大學內外全科醫學士二年級，並免修三年級增潤學年。學生可於八年內獲取香港大學藥劑學學士與內外全科醫學士兩個專業學位。  

Articulation to HKU MBBS and completion of two professional degrees in eight years

This year (2019/2020), HKU BPharm Programme starts to offer an articulation arrangement with HKU MBBS Programme. Students with outstanding performance by Semester 1 of Year 3 can choose to attach to the MBBS curriculum for one semester. Upon completion of the BPharm Programme and having satisfied the admission criteria of MBBS curriculum, students can then be admitted directly to Year 2 and exempted from the Year 3 enrichment year requirement. Students can, as a result, obtain dual professional degrees in BPharm and MBBS from HKU in eight years.
