Bachelor§ 1.2 - Aim of Programme, including any professional profile and specialisations
Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen §§ 1-4
The Bachelor and Master’s programmes are independent research-based educational courses with a set amount of ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System) aiming to make the student qualified to independently perform professional functions based on knowledge and practical proficiencies in several subject areas. A subject area consists of a single subject or a group of related subjects within the natural sciences.
The aim of the Bachelors’s programme is to:
- expand the student’s academic knowledge and proficiencies and increase the theoretical and methodical qualifications and skills with a higher level of independence compared to the Bachelor programme.
- give the student an academic immersion through the application of advanced elements within the disciplines and methods of the subject areas, including training in scientific work and methods which will develop the student’s skills in performing specialised professional functions along with participating in work related to scientific development and,
- qualify the student for further education, including the ph.d. programme.
Additional provisions of the Study Board:
The pharmacy programme at SDU is located at the Faculty of Science (Bachelor) and the Faculty of Health Sciences (Master). It is a research-based, full-time education that qualifies the student, based on the acquired knowledge and methodology skills, to independently handle job functions within all fields of pharmacy. The Pharmacy programme focuses on understanding principles as well as solving problems related to pharmaceutical and related sciences which are used in drug development, production, distribution and administration.
The aim of the Bachelor programme is:
a) to introduce the student to the scientific disciplines of the subject area, including its theory and method, so that the student acquires broad academic knowledge and skills,
b) to provide the student with the academic knowledge as well as the theoretical and methodological qualifications, allowing the student to perform professional functions in all fields of pharmacy.
c) to qualify the student for the admission to a Master’s degree programme.
Learning outcome
The learning outcome for the programmes of the Faculty of Science is described in accordance with the Danish “Qualifications Framework for Higher Education” through three general categories:
- Knowledge: This category is related to the specific programme or the specific course and covers the level of comprehension and reflection within a subject area in relation to the terms, theories, methods and scientific problems of the area.
- Skills: This category is aimed explicitly at the performance of practical skills, professional ethics and responsibility.
- Competences: This category entails the graduate’s personal and independent application of knowledge and skills. These competences are universal, not limited to the individual programme or course. Instead, they include skills such as analysis and abstract thinking, an attitude for learning, the ability to participate in academic and interdisciplinary collaboration, communicative skills and the graduate’s ability to acquire new knowledge and structure his/her own learning.

§ 3 - Structure and Progression
§ 3.1 - The structure of the programme
- The Bachelor’s degree programmes at the Faculty of Science at the SDU consists of a first year where the Faculty’s pedagogical and didactic principles are implemented, a major subject and an optional minor subject in the third year of study. The programmes are organised after one of the following structures:
- A programme of 180 ECTS with only a major subject
- A programme of 180 ECTS with both a major and minor subject where the major subject is worth 135 ECTS and is within the subject area of science and the minor subject is worth 45 ECTS and within the subject area of science
- A programme of 180 ECTS with both a major and a minor subject where the major subject is worth 135 ECTS and is within the subject area of science and the minor subject is worth 45 ECTS and is within the subject area of science. Both the major and the minor subjects are taught at upper secondary school.
- A programme of 180 ECTS with both a major and a minor subject where the major subject is worth 135 ECTS and is within the subject area of science and the minor subject is worth 45 ECTS and is outside of the subject area of science. Both the major and the minor subjects are taught at upper secondary school.
- A minor subject of 45 ECTS within the subject area of science and a major subject outside of the subject area of science. Both the major and the minor subjects are taught at upper secondary school.
- An interdisciplinary elective subject of 45 ECTS within the subject area of science and a major subject outside of the subject area of science.
