Pharmacy project: bachelor thesis gives students insight in pharmaceutical and medical terminology, the rational use of medicines and the different administration forms of medicines. This topic is the continuation of the competences they have already acquired in the 1st and 2nd year of the bachelor during the earlier pharmacy projects.
This study part is linked to the Bachelor's thesis: students look for a scientific paper connected to their pharmaceutical topic, write a thesis work starting from the selected paper and give a presentation on this thesis. In a portfolio, which includes a copy of their bachelor thesis, they show their knowledge and skills acquired during the previous 3 bachelor years.
Students also heve the opportunity to perform a internship abroad of one week during the period of this programm.
The Pharmacy project starts in the 1st year of the Bachelor's degree programme and ends in the 3rd year (incl. bachelor's thesis). Every year students integrate their new competencies. They integrate them in a portfolio, have discussions with the promoter and with the project leader (reflection) and give a presentation. The presentation and slides are in English.
By integrating the new knowledge, skills and attitudes in the portfolio students show their development. This portfolio is linked to the goals of the programme of the bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical sciences.

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:

Within the SELF Report category, the following assignments need to be completed:
When a student works inadequately or the portfolio is incomplete or when the evaluation of that student is insufficient, the student has to redo the project.
The final evaluation is calculated as follows:
2. 15%: evaluation by the jury of the presentation
3. 35%: evaluation by the jury of the discussion
The final score is the weighted average of the presentation (15%), discussion (35%) and the report (50%). When one of the partial scores equals or is below 8/20, then the final score can not be higher than the smallest partial score. In that case case the student will be send to the second examination session. A transfer of partial scores of at least 10/20 can be requested by the student.
In case the student fails, the individual work will need to be improved, the portfolio updated and occasionally also the officina work book. The student also may be asked to make a new oral presentation.
In case Pharmacy project: bachelor thesis in time does not immediately follows Pharmacy project: molecules of life, the student will be allocated to a new group and work around the topic of that group.
