43 BPharm Local and Overseas Exposure The new enrichment module will enable students to be involved in a local community service project of their own choices. The module provides them with the chance to engage in activities which benefit different groups in need as future healthcare professionals while enhancing their exposure at the same time. In addition to local experiences, all our pharmacy students will have the opportunity to participate in an international exchange programme. A strong link has been established with the pharmacy department of different universities and hospitals around the world, including University College 3ondon (UK), King’s College 3ondon (UK), University of Rouen (France), University of Sydney (Australia), Sojo University (1apan), University of Illinois at Chicago (USA) and many others. The exchange programme offers a unique educational and cultural experience in addition to further pharmaceutical knowledge. It also helps to broaden the students’ understanding of pharmaceutical and social conditions in different countries. Through the student exchange programme, there will be increased opportunities for improvement in pharmacy education through facilitating students to undertake international professional experiences in research, hospital or community pharmacy, giving them the ability to compare and contrast health care provisions between the visited country and Hong Kong. This experience will enable students to come up with ideas on the future development of the pharmacy profession in Hong Kong.
