§ 1.2 - Aim of Programme, including any professional profile and specialisations

Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen §§ 1-3
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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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,
  3. 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.

§ 1.3 - Didactic and pedagogical basis

The educational didactic and pedagogical foundation is based on SDU’s core principles of active teaching and active learning. This is implemented in science education through a variety of teaching methods, including open work processes that support students’ learning, self-management, and initiative, ensuring high academic standards and deep learning.
Teacher-led instruction is supplemented with formats in which students share responsibility for the organization of teaching and acquire knowledge through, for example, case studies or projects. Inspiration for this approach is drawn from the Faculty of Science’s version of the study activity model, as described in the pedagogical framework. This enables students to develop relevant competencies, awareness of their skills, independence, and academic curiosity.
Students are involved in dialogue and expectation alignment regarding the distribution of roles in teaching. Study groups are used to strengthen academic discussions, enhance the flow of teaching, and support students' academic and social integration.
The program is structured and coordinated to ensure coherence and progression between its elements, creating a unified and comprehensive education.

§ 5 - Examination provisions

§ 5.1 - Programme passing requirements

The Bachelor’s degree programme will be completed when the student has obtained:

a) A grade of 02 or higher on all exams graded according to the 7-point grading scale 
 
b) A “pass” grade on all exams which are given “pass”/”fail” grades 

c) An “approved” grade on all exams which are given “approved”/”not approved” grades and 

d) Approval of all exams which are approved through attendance of classes

The overall exam result is expressed as an average quotient with one decimal. Each individual grade is weighed equally in the calculation of the average quotient. Only subjects graded on the Danish 7-point grading scale are included.

§ 5.2 - Start of study exam

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 28
The university may decide that students must participate in and pass a start of study exam in order to continue the programme. The purpose of the start of study exam is to clarify whether a student has actually participated in the start of the programme. The exam is internal and will be evaluated with “Approved” or “Not approved”. The start of study exam will be conducted no later than 2 months after the start of the programme and the result must be given to students no later than 2 weeks after the exam. If a student does not pass the exam, they may do a re-exam which is conducted no later than 3 months after the start of the programme. Students have 2 exam attempts to pass the start of study exam. 

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
If a study start test is included in the programme this is stated in the recommended course of study. Further information about the study start test is given in the course description.

The study start test is held in connection with the start of studies in resp. September and February. Students have two exam attempts to pass the study start test. The second exam attempt is completed no later than three months after the start of the study programme.

If it can be documented that the student is or will be able to actively begin the education, it is the Study Board's practice to grant dispensation from the study start test in case of documented serious illness or similar documented illness in immediate family, or comparable documented personal circumstances who prevented participation in the offered exam attemps in the study start test.

The study board emphasizes that it is the purpose of the examination to clarify whether the student has actually begun the education. The assessment of whether it is possible to dispense with the study start examination does not only depend on the fact that an unusual circumstance can be documented that has prevented participation in the examination.

§ 5.3 - First year exam

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 30
In the programme regulations of the Bachelor’s degree programme, the university will determine which exams students must participate in before the end of the first year of study (the first-year exam).Requirements for the scope of the first-year examination may also be stated in ECTS points.

Students must pass the exams or tests of the first-year exam before the end of their second year of study in order to continue the programme. The university may determine in the programme regulations that, in order for students to continue the programme, the first-year exam must be passed before the end of the first year of study.

The rules apply regardless of the number of exam attempts. However, the student must be able to take at least two examinations during the first year of study before the student can be discharged from the programme. 

The university may provide dispensation from the established deadlines under exceptional conditions. 





Additional provisions of the Study Board:
Students must pass the first-year exam before the end of the first year of study in order to continue the programme even if a third exam attempt is not possible. In August, a third exam attempt for the first-year exam is conducted. However, there may be specific courses which only offer two exam attempts but this will be made clear in the recommended plan of study.

§ 5.4 - Spelling and writing skills

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 11, 4
In the evaluation of Bachelor projects, Master’s theses and other longer written assignments, there will be a focus on the student’s spelling and writing skills. In the programme regulations, rules determine how much the student’s spelling and writing skills affect the overall evaluation of the exam project.

The university may provide students who have documentation of a relevant functional impairment with a dispensation. 

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
The evaluation of longer written assignments is mainly concerned with academic content. The student’s spelling and writing skills will have minimal impact on the evaluation unless it deviates considerably from normal academic writing. This rule may be overlooked if the student provides documentation of a relevant functional impairment.

§ 5.5 - Evaluation of examinations and tests

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 23
The evaluation of a student’s performance must be in accordance with the academic objectives of the relevant subject or subject element (absolute grading). Grades may not be given in order to achieve a specific distribution of grades (relative grading).

Students must be assessed individually, regardless of whether the examination is conducted individually or as a group exam. 

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 2
The purpose of an examination or test is to assess the extent to which the individual student fulfills the learning objectives set for the subject element.
The university determines learning objectives and criteria for assessing the goal fulfillment for the individual subject elements in the programme regulations, including course descriptions.

Cf. Karakterbekendtgørelsen § 9
To pass a graded exam, the student must have obtained 02 or above. 

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 10-11 
The university provides programme regulations which determine wthether the examination is internal or external. 
Internal exams or tests are assessed by one or more of the university's lecturers (examiners). External exams or tests are assessed by one or more of the university's lecturers (examiners) and at least one external examiner appointed by the 
Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science

External exams or tests must cover the essential areas of the programme, including Bachelor's project, Master's thesis and Master's project. The external exams or tests must constitute at least 1/3 of the programme’s total ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System). This does not apply to credit transfers.

Grades are given according to the 7-point grading scale, as a “pass” or “fail” grade or as an “approved” or “not approved” grade, cf. karakterbekendtgørelsen.

The university determines the form of assessment for the specific subject element in the programme regulations or in the course description. The “pass/fail” grade must not be used in more exams than what covers 1/3 of the programme’s overall ECTS credits. This does not apply to credit transfers, however.

Bachelor project, Master’s thesis  and Master project are graded according to the 7-point grading scale


Additional provisions of the Study Board:
The learning objectives of a specific course establishes that the student will receive a 12 for an excellent performance which demonstrates a full achievement of the objectives of the course or course element with no or few flaws. The learning objectives can be found in the specific course descriptions.   

§ 5.6 - Exam language

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 21
The exam or test will be done in the language the lectures of a specific course have been conducted in, unless the purpose of the activity concerns, fully or partially, the language skills of a particular language. 
It is possible to conduct the exam in Swedish or Norwegian instead of Danish, unless language skills in Danish are part of the academic learning goals.

§ 5.7 - Forms of assessment

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 12, 1

The student’s qualifications are assessed at examinations. The assessment may be based on:

    a) a final oral exam
    b) a final written exam
    c) practical tests
    d) one or more written or oral exams conducted during lectures
    e) one or more assignments or reports or course work handed in for assessment in connection with lectures
    f) study periods given a pass/fail grade at internal exams (portfolio) 
    g) participation in lectures, exercises, seminars or similar activities or a combination of two or more of items a – g

The choice of examination form for the specific course is made in accordance with several factors. In order for the final grade of the course to reflect to what degree the student has met the learning objectives, there must be a clear cohesion between the course’s objectives, content, learning activities and the examination of the course. Over the course of the entire programme, the aspiration will be to have a variation of examination forms in order to test the student in the different types of knowledge, skills and competences which are represented in the Degree Qualifications Profile of the programme. This is done so that the overall exam result of the student reflects how well the student achieved the learning objectives of the programme. 

§ 5.8 - Ordinary exams

Ordinary exams will typically be conducted at the end of a course in the fall and spring semesters respectively. The exams of the fall semester courses are typically held in January and the exams of the spring semester courses are typically held in June. The accurate dates of the examinations can be found in the exam plan. The dates of ordinary exams which are conducted as part of the course’s lectures will be announced on itslearning. 

Withdrawal from exams is not possible after registering for a course. If the student does not participate in the exam, they use an exam attempt. If the student is prevented from participating because of an illness, they need to submit a doctor’s note to the Student Services (via SPOC). If the doctor’s note is accepted, the absence will not count as a used exam attempt. For more information, see SDU’s general exam rules on the university website.

§ 5.9 - Reexams

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 12, 2

The university may deviate from the stipulated examination or test form in a re-examination. This does not apply, however, for Bachelor projects or Master’s theses. It may be established in the programme regulations that the reexam has another form and/or evaluation than the ordinary exam. including the criteria for when the alternative examination or test form will be used.


Additional provisions of the Study Board:
A reexam is conducted for students who failed, were absent or were ill at the preceding ordinary exam. Therefore, the reexam still requires that the student has participated in the course’s lectures and readings. 

The dates of reexams which are conducted as part of the course’s lectures will be announced on itslearning. 
 
For all courses which the Study Board for Pharmacy is responsible for, with the exception of the Bachelor project and the Master’s thesis, the exam and censorship at a reexam may be different from the ordinary exam. It will appear from the course description if there is another form of examination for re-examinations and which criteria cause the alternative examination form.

Withdrawal from exams is not possible after registering for a course. If the student does not participate in the exam, they use an exam attempt. If the student is prevented from participating because of an illness, they need to submit a doctor’s note to the Student Services (via SPOC). If the doctor’s note is accepted, the absence will not count as a used exam attempt. For more information, see SDU’s general exam rules on the university website.

If the faculty announces that a course is cancelled, it will also be announced when the student at the latest must use their third exam attempt.

§ 5.10 - Exam attempts

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen 4
A passed exam or test cannot be retaken.Students have 3 attempts to pass an exam or test. A Student has used an exam attempt if the student does not meet the stipulated examination requirementsThe university may provide additional attempts under exceptional circumstances. When assessing whether there are any exceptional circumstances, the university must not include the student’s academic aptitude

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen 12,3. 
A student who is having their participation in a course assessed for the second time, may request to take an exam instead. However, the university may establish in the programme regulations that this does not apply to the start of study exam. Course participation which includes practical exercises cannot be replaced by an exam.

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 28
The university may decide that students must participate in and pass a start of study exam in order to continue the programme. The purpose of the start of study exam is to clarify whether a student has actually participated in the start of the programme. The exam is internal and will be evaluated with “Approved” or “Not approved”.
The start of study exam will be conducted no later than 2 months after the start of the programme and the result must be given to students no later than 2 weeks after the exam. If a student does not pass the exam, they may do a re-exam which is conducted no later than 3 months after the start of the programme. Students have 2 exam attempts to pass the start of study exam.

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
Students can apply for additional exam attempts through the Study Board for Pharmacy under exceptional circumstances. Reference is made to the study board's guidance on medical certificates

Students have two exam attempts to pass the start of study exam.Students must pass the first-year exam before the end of the first year of study in order to continue the programme even if a third exam attempt is not possible

§ 5.11 - Requirements for exams

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 7
The university may in the programme regulations establish that the student is required to participate in lectures or submit written assignments, etc, as part of the lectures in order to be able to attend the exam of the relevant course. 

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
If a course has prerequisite exams, these must be passed before the ordinary exam related to the prerequisite exam. If a student does not pass the prerequisite exam before the course’s ordinary exam, the student will not be able to participate in the exam and has used an exam attempt. Prerequisite exams which have been passed before the ordinary exam do not need to be repeated in case the student needs to use another exam attempt.  

§ 5.12 - Digital exams and aids

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 12, 4
The university may in the programme regulations establish rules regarding the use of computers during exams.

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
Written exams will be conducted on the student’s own computer unless the course description says otherwise. For written exams, the SDU’s rules regarding use of computer during written exams apply. 

A list of allowed aids can be found in the specific course descriptions. 

§ 5.13 - Special examination conditions

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 6
The university may provide special exam conditions for students with a physical or mental disability and for students whose native language is not Danish, if the university deems that this is necessary in order to place these students on an equal footing with other students participating in the exam. This provision must not alter the academic level of the exam. 

§ 5.14 - Irregularities at exams

The university sees irregularities at exams as a serious violation of the disciplinary rules. For more information, see the rules on disciplinary precautions for students at SDU.

§ 5.15 - Group exams

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen §§ 13-15
On a basis of academic considerations, the university decides whether an exam should be individual or a group exam. For group exams, the university further establishes the maximum number of students allowed in a group and whether students may choose to take the exam as an individual exam.

At the final examination, the student has the right to prepare the assignment individually and to submit an oral defense individually.

If the written assignment in the final examination has been prepared in a group, the individual student has the right to submit an individual oral defense.

In the case of written exams which have been produced by a group of students, individual evaluation and grading is only possible if the work of the individual student is somehow indicated. The university may establish requirements for individualisation in the programme regulations. 

In the case of written exams which have been produced by a group of students where individual evaluation and grading is not required, the assignment may be part of the evaluation of a subsequent oral exam. 

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
It will be evident from the course description of the specific course whether the exam is a group exam or not. In cases of individual study activities, Bachelor projects or Master’s theses, it will be established in collaboration with the supervisor if a group exam is possible. In cases of group exams, all students must be indicated in the contract and the evaluation will be adapted to the form of a group exam.

§ 6 - Credit transfer

§ 6.1 - Transfer of credit

Cf. Adgangsbekendtgørelsen § 42
 Students must inform the university of and apply for credits for passed programme elements from all previous unfinished studies of the same level. The university establishes rules concerning disciplinary steps in case the applicant provides incorrect or insufficient information.   

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
As quickly as possible after having been accepted at a programme, the student must apply for starting credits at the Faculty of Science, - and no later than October 1st - based on previously passed educational elements from the same or a different educational institution. The Study Board will make a specific credit assessment of the student’s previously passed subject elements. Credits are only given if the course element has academic relevance for the programme which the student has been accepted to.

§ 6.2 - Transfer of credit

Cf. Meritbekendtgørelsen § 4
Students who wish to complete certain programme elements at another university or educational institution in Denmark or abroad may apply for advanced credits for planned programme elements at their home university. The student must provide the necessary documentation to their home university for whether the programme elements have been passed or not. If the documentation indicates that the programme elements for which the student has been given credits in advance have been passed, the home university will approve and grant credits for these.

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
Students must send an application for advanced credits to the Study Board for Pharmacy. It is the student’s own responsibility to apply early so that the student is sure to receive a decision before the deadline for applications at the host educational institution. Students can seek advice and counselling regarding the level and contents of the intended courses at the institute.

§ 6.3 - Credit

Cf. Meritbekendtgørelsen § 2
This order states that a passed programme element is equivalent to a corresponding programme element at another university which provides the same programme. 

The university may approve that passed programme elements, as defined in this order, may replace programme elements in another programme of the same level (credits). 
The university may further approve that passed programme elements from another Danish or foreign programme of the same level may replace other programme elements.  

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
Students may send applications for credits to the Study Board for Pharmacy. It is the student’s responsibility to document the content and level of the course in the form of a course description and documentation of achieved results.

Credit cannot be given for courses where the student has taken one or more test attempts.

§ 6.4 - Extemptions

Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen § 42, 3 and § 56
The university may, when justified by exceptional circumstances, grant exemptions from the rules in the curriculum that have been established solely by the university. Matters such as extension of the study period, academic suitability, and the student’s preferences regarding the academic composition of the programme cannot be considered when assessing whether exceptional circumstances exist. Furthermore, an exemption requires that the exceptional circumstance is directly related to the academic element in question and that the circumstance has, over an extended period, prevented the student from completing the academic element.

Additional provisions of the Study Board
It is the Study board's practice to grant an exemption for a constituent course if the student can document that the student has passed courses at the same academic level, with at least the same extent and the same academic content as the course on the curriculum in question to be exempted.

It is the Study board's practice to grant an exemption from the stipulated requirements for an elective module if exceptional conditions can be documented that actually prevents the student from complying with these.

§ 7 - Provisions on the organisation of the programme

§ 7.1 - Enrolment and unenrolment from teaching and exams

Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen § 11
The university must establish internal rules regarding the registration of students for courses or course elements at the Bachelor and Master’s degree programmes, including rules establishing whether registration is the responsibility of the university or the student. The university may establish requirements for registration in the form of ECTS credits. The registration requirements may apply to both new courses and failed courses from earlier semesters. The registration requirements may be no higher than 60 ECTS credits per academic year, except in cases of failed courses from earlier semesters. 

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 5
The university must further establish internal rules regarding the placement of and the registration for the programme’s ordinary exams (1st exam attempt) and reexams (2nd and 3rd attempt). The university will establish whether the registration is the responsibility of the university or the student, as well as whether registration for a course or course element constitutes as registration for the exam or reexam of the course. The university will further establish whether students have the option of timely notification of deregistration from exams or reexams.  

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
It is the aim of the university that students registered for courses worth 30 ECTS points per semester at their relevant level of study. Registering for courses worth more than 30 ECTS points per semester is allowed. 

The university will register new students for the courses of their first semester of the Bachelor degree programme when the student has been accepted at SDU.

Twice per year, students can register for the courses provided in the fall semester (20. – 30. May) and the spring semester (20. – 30. November) respectively. For more information on registration deadlines, visit the faculty’s website. Registration is done via SDU Student Self-Service (https://sso.sdu.dk/) within the indicated time limits. Registration for a course gives access to the course’s page on itslearning.  

Registration for a course constitutes as registration for the first of the three exam attempts connected with the course. Deregistration from the course and its exams is not possible after the deadline for the registration period. If the student does not participate in the exam, they will have used one exam attempt. 

Students can register for and withdraw from courses from the start of the semester up to 21 days thereafter, with the following deadlines:

  • February 1 for the spring semester
  • September 1 for the autumn semester
Late registration for courses is subject to availability and must align with the student’s study program.

Withdrawal is not possible if an examination attempt has begun. If the student does not attend the exam, an attempt is still counted. For course elements where assessment is solely based on participation in classes, the exam is considered to have begun at the start of the teaching period.

Deviation from General Withdrawal Rules

If a course is exempt from the possibility of withdrawal, this will be stated in the course description.

Registration for second or third exam attempts

Registration for second or third exam attempts will be done within the indicated registration periods or by request to the Educational Law & Registration via SPOC. Registration for second or third exams is binding, and it is not possible deregister. 

Students who have failed the ordinary exam (first exam attempt) can register for the reexam (second exam attempt) in the same examination period or the appertaining re-examination period.

Students who have failed their second exam attempt can register for their third attempt at the next ordinary examination period. 

Students will automatically be registered for exams which are offered for the last time. 

Students can apply to the Study Board for Pharmacy for dispensation to deregister from courses and exams during any given semester in cases of exceptional conditions. 

Students can apply to the Study Board for Pharmacy for dispensation to participate in a reexam although the student has not used an exam attempt at the preceding ordinary exam.

§ 7.2 - Permission to enrol in courses from a Master’s degree programme

Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen § 15
The university may register students who are enrolled in a Bachelor degree programme at the university for courses, subject elements and exams from a Master’s degree programme worth a maximum of 30 ECTS points, if the university deems that the student has the academic prerequisites to complete their Bachelor degree programme while at the same time completing and passing courses or subject elements from the Master’s degree programme. 

Students who complete courses or subject elements from a Master’s degree programme have the right to enrol in the relevant Master’s degree programme as a direct continuation of their Bachelor degree programme. 

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
Applications for permission to participate in courses from a Master’s degree programme before having completed a Bachelor degree programme must be sent to Counselling. The study board refers to the general guidelines.

§ 7.3 - Deadline for programme completion

Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen § 6-8
Bachelor and Master’s degree programmes must be organised as full time studies so that students are able to complete a Bachelor degree programme in 34 months, or 36 months if they begin their studies in the spring semester, and complete a Master’s degree programme in 24 months if they choose to start the Master’s degree programme in direct continuation of their Bachelor degree programme. If a student chooses not to start a Master’s degree programme in direct continuation of their Bachelor degree programme, the Master’s degree programme must be organised so that the student is able to complete it in 22 months if they being in the fall semester and 24 months if they begin in the spring semester. 

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
 The Study Board refers to the SDU rules on time limits.

  • Bachelor degree programme must be completed within the standardised study period + 1 year
  • A 2-year Master’s degree programme must be completed within the standardised study period + ½ year
  • A 2½-year Master’s degree programme must be completed within the standardised study period + ½ yea
  • Master's degree for working professionals must be completed within the standardised study period + ½ year
  •  "AO" (Akademisk overbygningsuddannelse) - Master's degree  must be completed within the standardised study period + 1 year

§ 7.4 - Study activity

Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen § 54
The university may establish rules which dictate that the student continuously or at the end of each year of study must pass exams estimated in ECTS credits (demands of study activity) in order to continue their studies. The demand can be established as exams worth collectively no more than 45 ECTS credits per year of study.
The university must ensure that students have 3 exam attempts. 

The university may further establish that demands of study activity may be overlooked if the student is an entrepreneur or chairperson of a volunteer organisation which is included in Dansk Ungdoms Fællesråd (DUF). The university lays down internal rules for which students are entrepreneurs, cf. the Executive Order on Education.

The university may provide dispensation from demands of study activity if the student is an elite athlete or in cases of exceptional circumstances, including disability.

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
Enrolment of a student will be terminated if the student has not passed a minimum of one exam within a consecutive time period of at least 1 year. Participation in the studiestartsprøve does not count as part of the demands of study activity regarding passing a minimum of one exam within a consecutive time period of at least 1 year.

Students who fail to earn 30 ECTS per semester are notified of offers of counselling and potential support measures. Before their enrolment is terminated, the student is notified of the date of the termination of their enrolment.

The demands of study activity at the SDU are implemented as so-called accumulated study activity requirements. In accordance with the SDU’s general rules on study activity, Bachelor and Master’s degree students must pass a minimum of 45 ECTS per year of study. 

The provisions in this paragraph do not include enrolment via Open University.

§ 7.5 - Bachelors project

Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen § 19, 3
Constituent course elements that form the general academic competence and identity of the programme, along with other compulsory courses, including supporting subjects, must amount to at least 120 ECTS credits. The constituent course elements must comprise at least 90 ECTS credits and include the subject’s or field’s theory of science as well as a Bachelor's project worth a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 20 ECTS credits.

The Bachelor's project is placed in the third year of study and must demonstrate the student’s ability to competently formulate, analyse, and address problems within a defined academic subject. The university approves the subject delimitation and sets a submission deadline for the project.

Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen § 56
The Bachelor's project, Master's thesis, academic bridging project, and Master's project must include a summary in a foreign language. The summary may be written in Danish if the project is written in a foreign language, except for Norwegian and Swedish. The study programme regulations define how the summary contributes to the overall assessment and which languages the summary may or must be written in.


Assessment of the Bachelor's Project
Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 11
The Bachelor's project must be assessed using the 7-point grading scale.

Cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 15
In written group exams, an individual grade or assessment may only be given if the individual student’s contribution can be identified (individualisation). The university stipulates requirements for individualisation in the programme regulations.

Additional regulations by the Study Board:
The Bachelor's project is placed in the third year of the programme and comprises 10 ECTS. The project can be extended to 15 ECTS by including 5 ECTS from the elective pool. More information on content and objectives is found in the course description for the individual Bachelor's project.

The project must demonstrate the student’s ability to competently formulate, analyse, and address a defined academic problem reflecting the core focus of the programme. The Study Board approves a Bachelor's project contract.

Registration for the Bachelor's project takes place via SDU Student Self-Service (https://sso.sdu.dk/)) within the specified registration period. After registering—no later than one week into the semester—the student must submit a Bachelor's project contract via the electronic form system ([https://blanket.sam.sdu.dk/form/101/submit](https://blanket.sam.sdu.dk/form/101/submit)). The contract must be prepared in collaboration with the supervisor and any co-supervisor and must contain a project description relevant to the pharmaceutical field. The submission deadline for the Bachelor's project is specified in the course description for the given project.

Each student is entitled to supervision meetings with the main supervisor throughout the project period. The extent and timing of these meetings are outlined in the contract. The student must notify the supervisor in writing of the topics they wish to discuss in advance of each meeting and must come well-prepared. The final paper cannot be assessed during supervision.

The Bachelor's project must include a summary of the report's content, cf. Ministerial Order on Examinations § 26. If the report is written in Danish or another Scandinavian language, the summary must be in English. If the report is written in English, the summary must be in Danish/Scandinavian.

The Bachelor's project consists of a written part (assignment/report). The project may be carried out by a maximum of 4 students together. If more than one student is involved, the project is assessed through a subsequent individual oral exam, cf. Eksamensbekendtgørelsen § 4, 4.

Through the Bachelor's project, the student is expected to achieve the following goals:

  • Goal 1: Knowledge and understanding  
The student must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific methods commonly used in the pharmaceutical field. They must show in-depth knowledge and comprehensive understanding within the chosen area, including being well-versed in the state of the art within that research field.

  • Goal 2: Skills  
The student must demonstrate independent thinking. They must identify, formulate, and solve a current scientific issue related to the pharmaceutical field. This includes choosing appropriate methods and understanding the importance of method development. The student must seek, gather, assess, and critically interpret information related to the problem.

  • Goal 3: Documentation 
The student must demonstrate, through work with literature and/or experimental results, that they have developed their competence and enhanced their ability to document the effects of their own research. This includes reflecting on the information gathering process and relating the results to current knowledge using clear and precise language.

  • Goal 4: Professionalism 
The student must develop a constructive and critical professional approach.

The overall grade is based on both the written report and any oral presentation. The problem statement must be approved in advance and cannot be grounds for a "fail" grade.


Assessment criteria for the written part:
  • Pharmaceutical relevance:  
The project must be relevant to the field of pharmacy, including a discussion of the significance of the issue in pharmaceutical practice and/or research.

  • Independence:  
The project should reflect independent evaluation and show the ability to address the topic objectively, critically, and analytically.

  • Thoroughness:  
The student must identify and define key factors within the chosen problem area. They must demonstrate the ability to find relevant sources and apply critical source analysis. The project must include up-to-date textbooks and recent research. Literature and source references must be accurate. Method choices must be justified, data critically assessed, and realistic conclusions drawn.

  • Presentation:  
The report must be well-structured, systematic, and clearly written (in Danish, another Scandinavian language, or English). The oral presentation is assessed primarily on its academic content. Spelling and language skills are given limited weight unless they significantly deviate from standard academic language use. Documented relevant disabilities may allow for exceptions.

  • Originality:  
There must be no significant similarities with other submitted assignments, past or present.

  • Submission: 
The project must be submitted by the deadline, in three readable copies.

Assessment criteria for the individual oral component:

  1. The student must be able to evaluate their own work.
  2. The student must provide further academic elaboration on what is addressed in the written report.
  3. The student must explain any unclear aspects of their report.

The submission deadline stated in the Bachelor's project contract is binding. Missing the deadline means the project is considered not passed, and an exam attempt is used. If the student does not submit the Bachelor's project on time or does not pass, it counts as a used exam attempt. In such cases, the student must resubmit the project with the same problem statement during the re-exam period.

However, the student may apply for an extension from the Study Board no later than 4 weeks before the submission deadline, if exceptional circumstances apply. Such circumstances may include illness, death, or other force majeure events. The application must be approved by the Head of Department upon recommendation from the main supervisor before submission to the Study Board.

§ 7.6 - The 4+4 PhD arrangement

Cf. Ph.d.-bekendtgørelsen § 5 
The university may decide that the PhD programme begins in connection with the Master's programme, but it must be ensured that the total programme is of the same scope and at the same level as the applicable regulations for Master's and PhD programmes. The university sets rules regarding this. Students admitted under these conditions must have the opportunity to complete the Master's degree.

Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen § 8  
Students who are concurrently enrolled in both a Master's and PhD programme must annually register for educational elements in both the Master's and PhD programmes that together correspond to the registration requirements according to subsection 1.

§ 7.7 - Leave

Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen §§ 43-44
 Students may be granted leave of absence from their studies in accordance with the rules established by the university. During the leave, students cannot participate in the courses of the relevant programme.The University may lay down rules that allow the student to participate in examinations, despite the fact that the student has or has had leave.

Bachelor students may be granted leave of absence after completing their first year of studies. Master’s students may be granted leave of absence after completing their first semester. Apply for leave of absence if the application is due to maternity/paternity leave, adoption or regarding compulsory military service. 

The university may grant exemptions if there are exeptional circumstances.   

Additional provisions of the Study Board:

§ 7.8 - Limitation on the number of entries

Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen § 11
The university must in the programme regulations establish rules regarding the registration for courses or subject elements and regarding the selection criteria for electives. The university will use academic criteria as selection criteria. If it is not possible to determine any academic criteria, the university may draw lots instead.The university may not use age as a selection criterium. 

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
Some electives provided by the Faculty of Science have a maximum student capacity. If more students are registered for a course than the maximum capacity allows, students who have registered in good time are prioritised. The principles concerning prioritisation are provided in the course description of the courses with maximum student capacities. 

PhD students will always have first priority for PhD courses.

§ 7.9 - Minor, elective subject and elective

Elective Courses
Cf. Uddannelsesbekendtgørelsen § 19:
The university determines in the curriculum for each individual programme that elective courses must comprise at least 10 ECTS credits.

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
The programmes under the Study Board for Pharmacy include elective courses amounting to at least 10 ECTS credits. As a rule, elective courses are defined as all courses offered by the Faculty of Science that are not compulsory in the chosen programme. Elective courses may be defined more specifically in the subject-specific curricula, and there may also be restrictions specified in individual course descriptions.

Courses that overlap with compulsory programme elements (including supporting subjects), or courses that overlap with previously passed programme elements, cannot be approved as electives or transferred for credit to the programme.

Bachelor-level courses within the core subject area cannot be approved as electives or transferred for credit to the Master’s programme.

Students are required to register for electives at the relevant level of study corresponding to the number of ECTS credits specified in the subject-specific study plan. Registration is done via SDU Student Self-Service (https://sso.sdu.dk/) within the set deadline. Registration for teaching gives access to the course page on e-learn.sdu.dk.

Students may change their elective courses after the registration period, but no later than three weeks after the semester starts. Changing electives requires that the new elective course has the same ECTS value as the originally selected elective, that there is available space in the desired course, and that no exam attempts have been made in any part of the course.

Registration for electives is binding, and an exam attempt is considered used if the student does not participate in the exam. Students can apply to the Academic Study Board for withdrawal from an elective for a given semester. However, the elective will still be part of the student’s programme and must be passed before graduation.

Course replacement cannot take place if the student has made an exam attempt in one or more parts of the elective to be replaced. The Academic Study Board does not have the authority to handle such applications from students. The board refers to the university’s general information on course and exam registration and withdrawal.

After the elective change period, students may apply to the Study Board for Pharmacy for a course replacement under special circumstances, provided that no exam attempts have been made in any part of the course.

If an elective course is no longer offered, the student will be notified separately that teaching will cease, and that the availability of exams will also be time-limited. This information will also appear in the course description.

§ 7.10 - Talent

Cf. Talentbekendtgørelsen §§ 1 and 2
 Institutions of higher education which are within the area of the Ministry of Higher Education and Science may provide talent initiatives in the form of extra programme activities for talented students who are enrolled in a fulltime programme at the institution and in the form of courses from a Bachelor degree, Professional Bachelor degree or business academy programmes at the institution for talented students attending upper secondary school or other maritime training programmes. The specific institution must establish rules regarding talent initiatives in accordance with the conditions of the Talentbekendtgørelse.

The purpose of providing extra programme activities is to support and strengthen the performance of particularly talented students at the institutions of higher education so that a limited amount of the brightest and highly motivated students receive more challenging work than is required by the relevant programme regulations as well as acknowledgements for the extra work on their diploma. 

Additional provisions of the Study Board:
 Students have the opportunity to participate in talent programmes and extracurricular activities across the faculties. The completion of such activities may recommend the student for an honours degree. The Study Board refers to SDU’s webpage on talent programmes.

§ 8 - Exemptions and complaints procedures

§ 8.1 - Dispensation from University regulations
