Overview

Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours)

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 2020 they were named #2 in the world for pharmacy and pharmacology in the QS World University Rankings by Subject. Only Oxford ranks higher. 

This means that you’ll learn from experienced pharmacists and researchers and have access to some of the country's best-equipped facilities at the Parkville campus. 

They make sure their pharmacy students get plenty of practice accessing, assessing, and communicating medicines information to patients and to other health providers.

If you are an international student who anticipates practicing pharmacy outside of Australia, you may find that the master’s component of the program is surplus to your home country’s registration requirements. 

In that case, you may wish to enrol in the BPharm(Hons). You can choose to switch your enrolment to the BPharm(Hons)/MPharm at any time in your degree.

The 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 about primary health care, medicines information, and patient-focused pharmacy services.

Pharmacy is a global profession and they want you to experience that in your degree. As part of the program, you can apply for exchange opportunities to the Malaysia campus. 

You can also apply to complete projects and placements in the US, the UK and a number of developing countries. 

They work closely with preferred partners to ensure that their international activities are interesting and ethical.
