As a pharmacy student, you will learn from internationally-renowned academics about the chemical, physical, pharmaceutical and pharmacological properties of medicines, and the application of these in the practice of pharmacy. You will have access to the latest technology, facilities and teaching laboratories as well as gain extensive clinical experience. In your first year of this four-year degree, you will study biology and chemistry and be introduced to pharmacy through foundation and social pharmacy studies. The remaining three years of the course are devoted to studying higher levels of biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences together with specialised clinical pharmacy studies. In senior years, considerable time is spent in clinical placements in community and hospital pharmacies, where you will gain invaluable practical experience. You will also have the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge in your fourth year through an optional pharmacy major or, for meritorious students, choose to undertake an Honours research project. As an integral member of the healthcare system, you will be able to pursue an exciting and diverse range of career options spanning retail pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, research positions within universities and research institutes, and positions in the pharmaceutical industry in drug production and development.
