Overview

Master of Pharmacy

This program at Griffith builds on the solid science foundation students developed in their undergraduate science or health science degree to provide advanced studies in: 

Pharmaceutical science, professional and clinical pharmacy practice and pharmacy research 

It provides a broad range of lectures, group and self-directed learning activities, practical competence-development simulations, inter-professional learning and clinical placements to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to undertake an internship program.

While there are several accredited internship program providers, steps must be met (including provisional registration with the Pharmacy Board of Australia) before your internship can commence. 

Work-integrated learning

Work-integrated learning activities (professional placements) integrate theoretical learning with its application in the workplace. 

The inclusion of work-integrated learning activities in the degree program demonstrates Griffith's commitment to preparing its graduates for success in their working life.

In this program, you will spend time in the work/professional environment undertaking placements at various locations. 

Placements may be outside the Brisbane metropolitan/Gold Coast area, including northern New South Wales and (by negotiation) interstate or overseas. 

Total work placement (hours): 315.
