PHARMACY UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME HANDBOOK 2018-2019 Division of Pharmacy and Optometry School of Health Sciences Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

WELCOME TO PHARMACY Welcome to the Division of Pharmacy and Optometry at the University of Manchester. May we take this opportunity to offer our congratulations on your success in the recent examinations and wish you well during your time with us? We hope that your stay in Manchester will be rewarding, not only in the academic areas but also as a result of your participation in the extra-curricular activities associated with the University, the City, and the North West region. The purpose of this handbook is to bring together information to help you to answer queries that you might have about the programme and to provide some general information about the Division. We have tried to answer all the questions which have been asked by students in previous years, but if you feel that any important information has been omitted, please let us know. As with any publication of this type, all the information contained was correct at the time of compilation. Although not anticipated at this stage, it may be necessary to make changes as the year progresses. Where there is such a need, you will be informed. Professor Jayne Lawrence -Head of Divison

1.2 Key Dates for 2018/2019 Semester 1 14/75

Welcome Week: 17 – 21 September 2018 Teaching (Weeks 1-12): 24 September 2018 – 14 December 2018 Christmas vacation: 17 December 2018 – 13 January 2019 Exam Period: 14 January 2019 – 25 January 2019 Semester 2 Teaching (Weeks 1-12): 28 January 2019 – 10 May 2019 Easter vacation: 8 April 2019 – 29 April 2019 Exam Period: 13 May 2019 – 7 June 2019 Resit Exam Period: 19 August 2019 – 30 August 2019 https://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/key-dates/

1.3 Examination and Teaching Timetables 1.3.1 Examination Timetables The examination timetables are managed and published by the central Exams Team within the Student Services Centre (not the Division). They are produced using dedicated software for which the overarching factor is the production of a timetable with no, or as few as possible, student clashes. While attempts are made to ensure that students have a spread of examination dates throughout the examination period, in many cases this is not possible given the institutional constraints on the numbers of examination venues that are available, the number of examinations that are scheduled to take place and the options available to students on any particular programme of study. Therefore you should expect to have some exams on consecutive days where this is unavoidable.

1.3.2 Teaching Timetables Your master timetable will be uploaded to the UG Pharmacy Community Space on Blackboard. You are advised to check these at the commencement of each semester. Whilst it is not anticipated that major changes will be made during the year, minor alterations may need to be made from time to time. Every attempt will be made to notify you of such changes as soon as possible in advance either verbally or by written notice, or both. Where a class is split into sub-groups, a list of students in each group will also be available in the timetable folder on Blackboard. 15/75

Please note the personalised timetables on My Manchester may not show practical and laboratory classes, so please use the master timetable alongside your personal timetable. You will have classes in lots of different building across the campus so please familiarise yourself with the locations Campus Map. The following lecture theatres, laboratories and tutorial rooms are located within the Stopford Building: – Lecture Theatres 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Interprofessional Education Suite (IPE Suite) (Room G.183) Clinical Skills Suite (Room G.123) The Dispensary (Room G.229) The Pharmaceutics Lab (Room G.226) The Training Room (G.223) The Project Room (G.382) Multi-User Labs (MUL) (1st and 2 nd Floor)

1.4 Learning Resources 1.4.1 Library The University of Manchester Library provides you with the resources and support you need throughout your MPharm programme. The Main Library and Stopford Library house all of the essential text books whilst the Alan Gilbert Learning Commons provide a 24/7 learning environment in addition to study skills workshops. The Library also has an extensive collection of eBooks, databases and journals available online. The My Library tab in My Manchester has quick links to all of the Library’s resources and services available to students. Getting Started You will need your student card to access all library sites around campus. Many of our services and resources also require you to confirm that you are a registered student. This authentication can be your student card, the ID number on the card, your Library PIN, the central username and password you use to log on, or a combination of these. There is a library guide for Pharmacy students giving all of the latest information on resources and learning and research services available. This is a good starting point if you are looking for any library resources or information related to your course. 16/75

Each course module in Blackboard includes an online reading list, so you can quickly check availability and directly access e-books, digitised chapters and e-journals or articles. The Main Library The Main Library holds the principal collection of Pharmacy books and journals. Pharmacy textbooks are located on Floor 2 of the Blue Area, together with books in other related subjects such as Biology, Chemistry and Social Sciences. Pharmacy journals held in print are on Floor 1 of the Green Area in the Clinical Sciences sequence; further relevant periodicals are shelved in other areas of the Main Library. The library search facility will let you know what items are available and where to find them, including eBooks and online journals. The Main Library offers group study rooms, individual study space options and computer clusters. Wi-Fi is available throughout the building and a cafe lounge can be found on the ground floor. The Library has long opening hours and extends these during exam periods. Please check Locations and Opening Hours for full details on opening hours and facilities. The Stopford Library The Stopford Library is a smaller site library for Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Life Sciences and holds multiple copies of all new editions of core and useful texts. Full details of what is available can be found using library search or asking a member of customer service staff. In addition to books, Stopford Library also has half skeletons and iPads available for loan. The Stopford Library also has a computer suite, Wi-Fi and 6 group study rooms with a large table and 14 chairs, a 32 inch LCD monitor and a large “sqwiggle” board. Bookings can be made via My Manchester or at the customer service desk in the Stopford Library. Please check Locations and Opening Hours for full details on opening hours and facilities.

1.4.2 The Alan Gilbert Learning Commons The Alan Gilbert Learning Commons is a state-of-the-art learning environment with 24/7 opening hours throughout term-time.

There is a series of training workshops covering a variety of academic and transferable skills hosted in the training room at the Learning Commons. These workshops include training on revision/study skills, note-taking and other topics and have been developed 17/75

by Learning Commons staff in partnership with other teams across the University. Full details of training sessions are available in the My Learning Essentials Calendar.
