This module is worth 20 academic credits (which equates to 200 hours of learning) at Level 7 of the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ) and is usually studied over 11 months. As part of the the continuous process of reviewing of the programme, offerings may differ between academic years so you will notice links to different proformas depending on when tutees enrolled.

The module uses a blended learning approach to allow some degree of flexibility when students study materials and to try to promote a self-directed approach to learning. Workshops will help consolidate learning from completion of on-line materials and there will be an opportunity to ask experienced and specialist pharmacists questions during these sessions.
The module assessment depends on which cohort the student enrolled in:
Those that enrolled before September 2023
The module team recognise that students may face obstacles outside their control that will impact on their ability to meet the deadline set and in such circumstances they should inform their personal tutor and the module leader. Extensions can be granted (usually a maximum of 15 working days) or the assignment can be deferred until the next cohort's deadline. However, the university requires them to submit a personal circumstances form before any extension or deferral is granted - the form is available in the My Services Section of the My LJMU Portal.
If an extension is required, select the "extensions" form from the dropdown menu
If they wish to defer the attempt until the next cohort, select the "Non-attempt at assessment" form from the dropdown menu
Component marking is not employed in this module (i.e. it may not be necessary to pass all assessments within a module as long as the overall weighted module mark is at least 50%). University regulations allow a referral attempt and details of the requirements will be provided after the Board of Examiners meeting. In the event that a module is failed at the 2nd attempt, an exceptional second referral may be granted but this is subject to specific criteria being met (the main one being that at least 100 credits have been gained beforehand).
