Occasional Students

Study Options for Occasional Students

For Semester 1, 2026-2027, we will be offering the following courses and study options for occasional students. This allows students who are not formally in the Master of Advanced Pharmacy programme to access the rich content that are highly relevant in pharmacy practice and to develop their professional network. Please click the links below to see the details of each course.

Points To Note

• Upon successful completion, occasional students will earn HKU credits that can be used to apply for advanced standing for the particular course(s), if they are accepted into the Master of Advanced Pharmacy programme within the next 5 years. Please note that completion of courses as an occasional student does not guarantee future admission into the Master of Advanced Pharmacy programme.
• The programme may only grant advanced standing for up to 12 credits, and the specific course must be offered during the student's enrollment period as a Master of Advanced Pharmacy student.
