Master of Pharmacy (Clinical Pharmacy)

About This Course

The Master of Pharmacy (Clinical Pharmacy) [MCP] and subsequent stackable option to the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree provide enhanced flexibility, improved options, and diverse pathways leading to the advanced generalist and specialist pharmacy practitioners. The programme offers a full-time course of study over 1 year, and a part-time option for Singapore citizens and permanent residents completed in up to 4 years. In addition, the coursework for the MCP fulfills the didactic portion of the NUS PharmD degree.

The MCP programme will enhance the clinical knowledge and practice skills of the students in the delivery of patient-orientated services, aiming to inculcate in our students the qualities of resourcefulness and enterprising spirit in their professional progression.

Further, the pedagogical approach of blended learning coupled with in-class case discussions, debates and oral presentations will develop questioning minds, prompting students to challenge current clinical pharmacy practices and lead in initiating innovative clinical programmes. Further, such in-class activities will enable our students to be effective communicators to articulate and defend their ideas.
