Description
This Year 1 non-credit bearing module commences in semester 1 and spans the whole academic year. In this module, students will record and reflect on their personal and professional experiences and development through their personal ePortfolio. This required component of Year 1 is the start of a process that runs throughout the four years of the MPharm degree. It is essential preparation for developing as a reflective practitioner, identifying learning needs and engaging in continuing professional development. Students will also become familiar with the General Pharmaceutical Council training and education standards and practice mapping these to their learning and development.
Students will be supported through face-to-face contact with academic Personal Academic Tutors, Senior Tutors, and practice-based Pharmacy Professionals to engage in learning tasks linked to their professional experience placements and other Year 1 modules.
This module has a series of tutorials focused on the development of general academic skills, such as time management, academic writing, academic integrity and referencing. This supports students to develop as efficient learners and helps build their confidence and engagement.
