The Department of Pharmacy provides undergraduate program to offer the Bachelor of Pharmacy
(Honours.), [ B. Pharm. (Hons.) ] Degree. B. Pharm. (Hons.) is a four year degree curriculum,
which contains theoretical courses, practical sessions, project works and predetermined industrial
and hospital trainings.
The Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) Program in Primeasia University aims to introduce the
students to pharmacy as a profession; to provide knowledge on the responsibilities and
uniqueness of the pharmacists in pharmaceutical industry, hospital & community pharmacy and
to help them to acquire their knowledge in their coursework for the benefit of real patients and the
people. The core topics provide the roles required of the modern pharmacists; legal and ethical
aspects, pharmacy service quality and standards; improving the public's health; medicines
management.
The first year introduces the profession and scientific basis of Pharmacy and the principles of
drug designing and disease management. It is projected to equip the students with the wide
range of skills required for further study and practice. Courses cover physiology and
pharmaceutical chemistry and will be studied alongside core aspects of formulation, drug
discovery and use.
Students will study the more complex aspects of pharmacy in the second year, including aspects
of human physiology and pathology, pharmacology and microbiology. Pharmaceutics and
formulation of dosage forms will also be covered.
The emphasis of the third year is the development of skills in pharmaceutical industry on
manufacturing & formulation technology, drug analysis; medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical
biotechnology together with further aspects of the Law and ethical issues in Pharmacy. This will
also encompass relevant aspects of toxicology and therapeutics, hospital and community
practice.
The fourth (final) year is primarily to carry out advanced studies on medicinal chemistry,
pharmaceutical technology & analysis, bio-pharmaceutics & pharmacokinetics. Topics and key
developments in professional practice and the wider role of pharmacists in patient care,
identifying and responding to symptoms, the monitoring of disease and appropriate drug
3
interventions, cosmetology, agro-vet pharmacy, food & nutrition will be covered, providing
extended research projects to prepare the students for employment and further studies.
Entry Requirements
Students who have passed Secondary School Certificate and Higher Secondary Certificate
Examinations in Science Group with Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Mathematics with a cGPA
of at least 2.5 in each level or have passed GCE O-Level and A-level examinations with science
subjects including those four, of which at least two must be at the A-Level examination and
secured B grades in at least three of them at any level are eligible for admission in the B. Pharm.
(Hons.) course.
Number of Courses and Credits
Curriculum of Bachelor of Pharmacy (Hons.) program contains of 72 courses containing 154
credits. Of which 147 credits are on Pharmacy Core courses and 7 credits are relevant non-
pharmacy courses.
Academic Period & Semesters
The courses of B. Pharm. (Hons.) program are offered in 4 (four) academic years consisting of 8
(eight) six-monthly semesters. Each semester consists of 18 weeks of class lectures and practical
sessions, 2 weeks of preparation period and 4 weeks of Mid-Term and Semester Final
examinations. There are two semesters – Summer (April to September) and Fall (October to
March) semester in an academic year.
During any semester, students according to their needs may take additional courses either to
make up deficiencies in credits and grade point average (GPA) requirements, or to fulfil the
credits requirements for a B. Pharm. (Hons.) degree and thus spending less time than the normal
duration.
ASSIGNMENT OF CREDITS AND COURSES
The program is offered through a set of theoretical and laboratory courses, fieldwork, project and
thesis work.
1. Theoretical Courses:
A one hour lecture per week per semester will be equivalent to one Credit. Thus, a three
Credit hours’ course will have three lectures per week throughout the semester.
0. Practical / Field Training / Project Work:
Credits for practical / field work usually will be half of the class hours per week per
semester. Credits are also assigned to project work taken by students.
4
Grading System
The total performance of a student in a given course is based on a scheme of continuous
assessment. For a theoretical course, this continuous assessment is made through homework,
assignment, attendance, quizzes etc, a mid semester examination of 90 minutes duration and a
semester final examination of 180 minutes duration. The distribution of marks for a given course
is as follows:
I. Class Assessments (Class tests 10%, Class assignments 5%, Class attendance 5%) : 20%
II. Mid Semester: 30%
III. Final Exam: 50%
Total: 100%
The assessment in practical / field work courses is made through observation of the student at
work in class, viva voce during Practical hours and quizzes.
The Grading System as prescribed by the University Grants Commission, Dhaka is followed in
grading students’ aptitude in examinations. The system is as follows:
Numerical Grade Letter Grade Grade Point
80% and above A+ (A Plus) 4.0
75% to less than 80% A (A regular) 3.75
70% to less than 75% A- (A minus) 3.5
65% to less than 70% B+ (B Plus) 3.25
60% to less than 65% B (B regular) 3.0
55% to less than 60% B- (B minus) 2.75
50% to less than 55% C+ (C Plus) 2.5
45% to less than 50% C (C regular) 2.25
40% to less than 45% D 2.0
Less than 40% F 0.0
