About the course

The world needs pharmacists. As the experts on medicines and the way they interact with the body, pharmacists play a vital role in improving the health of their communities. As the global population grows and ages, and as medicines become more complex, the need for pharmacists intensifies.In 2023 we were named #2 in the world for pharmacy and pharmacology in the QS World University Rankings by Subject. In part, this is because we believe the world doesn’t just deserve more pharmacists, it deserves better pharmacists. Our Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) / Master of Pharmacy course is designed to ensure our graduates go out into the world equipped with a higher level of learning.

　　Our course ensures you have a thorough grasp of the underlying scientific disciplines – chemistry, biology, pharmacology and so on. But it also focuses on the key soft skills that make the difference between a good pharmacist and a great one. You’ll step up your skills through work placements in community pharmacies, hospitals, and other environments, practicing these skills while learning from some of Australia’s best pharmacists.
