Course overview
This degree allows you to combine your knowledge of science with your passion to help people. The course offers theoretical and practical experience, is fully accredited by the Australian Pharmacy Council, and leads to registration as a professional pharmacist after an internship year.
Pharmacists do much more than dispense medicine: they improve the health and wellbeing within our community and have a positive impact on many people’s lives. Pharmacists study aspects of how and why medicines work, how they’re formulated and administered, and how they’re used in the treatment of disease. A pharmacist’s primary role is to ensure the safe and effective use of drugs. They can also work in areas such as research and development, where they may participate in activities ranging from drug discovery and formulation, to assessing the therapeutic benefits of different medicines.
The new curriculum which enables students to graduate with a Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) commenced in 2018. Please note that, due to the competitive nature of the selection process, achieving the minimum ATAR is not a guarantee of admission to the course.
