Pharmacy

Pharmacy is ideal for students who are interested in science, health care and enjoy communicating with people.

The degree has four major areas of study:

• Medicinal chemistry (the chemistry of drugs)
• Pharmacology (the modes of actions of drugs)
• Pharmaceutics (the formulation of drug dose forms)
• Pharmacy practice (the application of all of these to the professional practice of pharmacy).

Our pharmacy course has emphasis on rural and remote pharmacy, in the third year students will study the special needs in pharmacy for rural and remote areas. They will also undertake work placements in hospitals and community pharmacies through the practical experiences program.

The practical experiences program provides an understanding of the processes involved in providing primary health care, drug information, and clinical pharmacy services in different practice environments.

Pharmacists are health professionals with the skills and knowledge to manage a patient’s understanding and utilisation of medication, in order to optimise medicines related to health outcomes.

To be registered as a pharmacist, students must complete an additional one year pre registration program under the supervision of the Pharmacy Board.
