Course requirements

Retten til å avlegge eksamen forutsetter godkjente arbeidskrav og deltakelse i bestemte faglige aktiviteter.

Arbeidskrav

Følgende arbeidskrav må være godkjent før eksamen i Naturfag 1, emne 1, avlegges:

I hovedtemaet Jorda, planeten som ble levende 1:

  • Presentasjon av rapport feltarbeid, omfang inntil 20 minutter
  • Artsprøve (ca. 15 minutter)

I hovedtemaet Kjemi:

  • Praktisk prøve i laboratorieteknikker (20 minutter)
  • Prøve i navn og formler for uorganiske forbindelser (2 timer)

I hovedtemaet Fysikk:

  • Gruppepresentasjon (30 minutter)
  • Forsøk med individuell skriftlig rapport (1500 ord +/- 10 %)

Faglige aktiviteter med krav om deltakelse

Fordi det er vanskelig å tilegne seg kunnskaper om feltarbeid på egen hånd, og fordi erfaringsdeling og respons krever tilstedeværelse, er det krav om deltakelse på de aktivitetene som er nevnt nedenfor.

I hovedtemaet Feltarbeid:

  • Deltakelse på feltkurs med for- og etterarbeid

I hovedtemaet Fysikk:

  • Deltakelse på presentasjonsdag i fysikk

Ny/utsatt eksamen

Ny/utsatt eksamen arrangeres som ved ordinær eksamen.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

The Bachelor’s Programme in Pharmacy is a three-year programme of professional study (180 credits). Students who complete the programme are awarded the degree of Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy, which forms the basis for authorisation as a prescriptionist in accordance with the Act relating to Health Personnel etc.

The title of pharmacist covers both the Norwegian titles reseptarfarmasøyt (pharmacist with a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy) and provisorfarmasøyt (pharmacist with a master’s degree in pharmacy). It is only the pharmacies’ pharmaceutical personnel who are independently entitled to dispense prescription pharmaceuticals or pharmaceuticals on requisition, which in accordance with applicable distribution regulations, must be subject to control by a pharmacist, cf. the Pharmacies Act Section 4-4.

The programme description has been drawn up on the basis of the National Regulations relating to a Common Curriculum for Health and Social Care Education and the Regulations on national guidelines for pharmacy education adopted by the Ministry of Education and Research. The programme was established under the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges and the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University.

Bachelor’s Programme in Pharmacy – vocational competence and work tasks

The task of a pharmacist with a bachelor’s degree is to provide pharmaceutical services to the public in the form of advice and guidance, thereby helping to ensure correct and rational use of pharmaceuticals by individuals and in society at large.

The programme helps students to develop into responsible and reflected professionals who are qualified and in demand in their field of work. The students are expected to acquire the knowledge, skills and competence necessary to be granted authorisation as a pharmacist with a bachelor’s degree, and thereby also be entitled to dispense pharmaceuticals in Norwegian pharmacies.

Knowledge of pharmaceuticals and their application is a crucial basis for practising the profession. Pharmacists have knowledge of and skills in the production of pharmaceuticals, knowledge of the effect of pharmaceuticals on the body, and about the use and misuse of pharmaceuticals. Pharmacists must have basic theoretical knowledge attained from different topics and approaches in the field of pharmacy, and an understanding of good problem-solving in cooperation with users of pharmaceuticals, colleagues and other partners.

The pharmacy is an important supplier of pharmaceuticals to hospitals, nursing homes and home-based care services. The tasks undertaken by a pharmacist require contact and cooperation with other health personnel, such as doctors, dentists, nurses and veterinarians. Pharmacists are increasingly becoming part of an interdisciplinary team, where different healthcare professionals arrive together at the best pharmaceutical treatments for patients/users of pharmaceuticals. Relational and communication skills, including good oral and written presentation skills in Norwegian, are thereby an essential part of a pharmacist’s expertise and are used daily in their work.

Relevance to working life

OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University educates bachelor’s degree candidates in pharmacy, most of whom go on to work at pharmacies. Authorised pharmacists with a bachelor’s degree can work in middle management or management positions at pharmacies. The candidates may also be suitable for a variety of positions in the primary and specialist health service, in public administration and in the pharmaceutical industry.

Relevance to further education

Students who complete the Bachelor’s Programme in Pharmacy are qualified for admission to several master’s degree programmes. Master’s degree programmes in pharmacy offered at Oslomet – Oslo Metropolitan University, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and UiT the Arctic University of Norway are particularly relevant. The Master’s Programme in Health and Technology at OsloMet may also be relevant.

Grading scale

The target group is people who wish to take a bachelor's degree in pharmacy to qualify for work as a pharmacist with a bachelor's degree and/or as a basis for further studies.
