Første og andre studieår må være fullført.

Kunnskap

Studenten har

• kjennskap til arkivvitenskapelig teori, metode og forskning
• har god oversikt over aktuell teori og forskning på det området som oppgaven omhandler

Ferdigheter

Studenten kan

• utarbeide en presis og avgrenset arkivvitenskapelig problemstilling
• anvende relevant teori på eget materiale
• innhente, analysere, vurdere og organisere relevant materiale
• drøfte egne valg av metode og teoretisk grunnlag i forhold til alternative løsninger
• gjennomføre og formidle et selvstendig arbeid

Generell kompetanse

Studenten kan

• kan planlegge et selvstendig prosjekt som strekker seg over tid
• kan formidle skriftlig sentralt fagstoff som teorier, problemstillinger og funn

Arbeidsformene veksler mellom forelesninger, veiledning, selvstudium og seminarer.

This course focuses on the characteristic properties of different types of active ingredients, formulations and routes of administration, as well as theory on and practical presentation of sterile pharmaceutical production.

The student may lack a maximum of one passed course from the first year of study. The partial exam in drug calculations in the course FARB1400 is exempt from the progression requirement.

Alle hjelpemidler er tillatt så lenge regler for kildehenvisning følges.

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

• can describe the structure and function of biological barriers
• can explain the function of relevant ancillary substances in pharmaceutical preparations
• is capable of explaining factors that can limit the bioavailability of active ingredients and influence the biopharmaceutical properties of pharmaceuticals
• can explain the choice of active ingredients, formulation and route of administration in connection with pharmaceutical development
• can give grounds for how the durability and conditions for storage of pharmaceuticals are determined
• is capable of assessing the use of different pharmaceutical formulations based on a patient’s condition and needs

Skills

The student

• can discuss principles of pharmaceutical formulation based on information from summaries of product characteristics (SPC) and any other relevant pharmaceutical reference works
• masters basic skills in aseptic work technique and sterilisation procedures
• can assess whether a pharmaceutical batch is consistent with specific quality requirements
• can present an allocated relevant topic to fellow students

General competence

The student

• can apply knowledge to identify innovative formulations and critical stages of the development and production of pharmaceuticals
• can familiarise him/herself with the principles of formulation for new pharmaceuticals
• can assess possibilities for individual adaptation of pharmaceutical formulation to create the best possible health at the individual level
• has a conscious relationship to the choice of own formulation and routes of administration
• has an understanding of the role of the pharmacist in pharmaceutical development and production

Work and teaching methods include lectures, group work, question sessions and laboratory work. The lectures involve student activity and the material elucidated with the help of examples of clinical relevance. The laboratory work focuses on aseptic work technique. The flipped classroom method is used for parts of the course. Digital learning resources will be made available to students in advance, and the time they spend at the university will be used to work on assignments and group work.
