The goal of pharmacy care is to maximise positive healthcare outcomes and improve patients' quality of life with minimum risk.

In your first year you will learn the foundations of biochemistry, physiology and pharmacy practice. You'll also study interprofessional healthcare alongside students from other health science degrees.

You then study pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, antimicrobial chemotherapy, pharmacology and pharmacotherapy, and continue to develop your pharmacy practice skills.

You will complete a minimum of 10 weeks (375+ hours) of clinical placements during the course and there are opportunities for you to take your placements interstate and overseas in hospitals, the community or in industry.

Following graduation, you'll need to complete an internship of 1,824 hours (about one year full-time) to register as a pharmacist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra).
