Pharmacy 藥劑學

藥劑學是一門複雜而精深的學科;作為一位專業的藥劑師,除了要清楚了解各種藥物的特性,還會為病人配制藥物及解答諮詢,甚至參與藥物研發工作。

修讀此學系的同學要有非常好的記憶力及分析思考;亦必須在化學科及英語上表現出色才會被錄取。

基本入學要求

同學須於香港中學文憑試(或相等學歷)取得最少第4級的成績,而當中化學科的成績必須要達到第5級或以上。藥劑學課程只會接受修讀理科的學生報讀,校方非常著重同學在化學科及數學科的表現,當中部分澳洲院校甚至要求申請者要有延伸數學(即M1或M2)。

另外,不可忽視該課程對英文水平的要求。一般要求IELTS雅思英文試6.5至7.0的成績(視乎院校及課程而定),因此同學最好趁早備考!亦有海外院校會安排面試及入學試給符合初部入學申請資格的同學。

黎倚華 Gloria Lai
MPharm graduate from University of East Anglia

After I have graduated, I am having a year as a pre-registration pharmacist in Boots before I am fully qualified. In this year, I am training to be a pharmacist and I have a much organised schedule for training. I am entitled to have an hour private study time everyday, I will be studying the BNF, doing the workbook and preparing for the study day.In the first month, I was mostly working over-the-counter, helping customers to treat their minor ailments, providing advice to help them to choose the most appropriate and safe products and promoting healthy lifestyle, such as smoking cessation. And then I was mainly working in the dispensary. My job involve stock reviewing, labelling and dispensing prescriptions, clinical checking prescriptions, ensuring the prescription is legally completed and medications are at the right dosage. Also, I am counselling patients of any adverse side-effects or potential interactions of their medications and instructing patients on the use of medicines and medical appliances.

Actually this is a really challenging job for me as I need to manage well on both working and studying. And it was quite difficult for me at the beginning for several reasons since I was working in a totally new environment far away from my university and due to different cultures and language barrier. But I was very luckily that all colleagues and friends have given me many support and encouragement. Now I am able to cope well under pressure and embrace changes, my confidence as well as my professionalism and accountability have been enhanced.
