Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours)

With the profession rapidly evolving, our Pharmacy degree is designed to prepare you for real-world practice from day one, without needing to complete a general science or health degree first. Throughout the course, you’ll gain hands-on experience in areas such as compounding and dispensing medicines, providing medicines information and advice, managing medicines, and delivering a broad range of professional pharmacy services. You’ll also develop the skills to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary healthcare teams. As your career goals evolve, the course offers flexible pathways. You can graduate after 3 years and 9 months, and begin your internship towards registration, or progress to the Doctor of Pharmacy – four additional trimesters of advanced clinical training.
