- The period of training has been extended to five years (including the preliminary basic sciences year).
- This programme retains the load in Part I since it provides basic courses given in the Faculty of Science, while the new four-year period of professional training has a range of 29½ to 38 units, the load diminishing as the students progress to Part V.
- In order to provide instructions and exposure of students on the issue of clinical and social aspects of pharmaceutical services and care, the current programme has been structured to ensure better training involving patient contact and interaction both at the hospital and community levels.
- The degree remains unclassified with the pass mark of 50% as approved by the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria in all recognised institutions except in Dispensing and Pharmacy laws, where the pass mark is 60%.
- Faculty, fully recognising that an integrated programme would best help the training of students, has revised and pooled together certain topics which now constitute courses placed in specific departments. The 08 numbered courses are of this category.
- Courses run throughout the session or for one semester and are examined during the semester they terminate.
- The regulations as regards the Final determination of the degree on weighting of each Part have been adjusted to read 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% for Parts II, III, IV and V respectively.
- For the award of distinction, i.e. a candidate receiving the B.Pharm. degree with Distinction, the Board has recommended a Grade Index of not less than 4.1.
- All other University Examinations Regulations for Faculties not operating the course unit system will operate.
