Why study Bachelor of Pharmacy?
The Bachelor of Pharmacy produces graduates with comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the enabling sciences, applied pharmaceutical sciences, clinical science and pharmacy practice and the professional skills and generic attributes which underpin the profession of pharmacy. A degree in Pharmacy may lead to careers in many different areas of practice including community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, consultant pharmacy and the pharmaceutical industry. The course is based on a model in which a range of teaching and learning activities are employed, such that the mode best suited to developing particular skills and achieving specific objectives is chosen. Specifically, problem-based sessions will be used where the objective calls for critical thinking,online discussion groups and debates where communication skills and construction of an argument are required, lectures and aligned tutorials where content attainment and understanding objectives are required, practical classes where specific technical skills are required, and Professional Experience Placements (PEPs) will be used to develop professional skills and practices. This course is accredited by the Pharmacy Board. To be registered as a pharmacist, students must complete an additional one-year internship (pre-registration) program under the supervision of the Pharmacy Board of Victoria.
