Monash Pharmacy School
Study pharmacy at Monash University

Monash Pharmacy School has set up a great pathway to a new career in pharmacy just for graduates!

How it works

Step 1: Use your completed degree as your ticket into the Bachelor of Pharmacy
If you’ve graduated from an approved degree in science, biomedical science, biomedicine or pharmaceutical science and have a minimum average of 70%, you’re eligible to enter the Bachelor of Pharmacy program. The best part is, you’ll enter the program in third year which means you’ll only need to complete two years of study to qualify for the Bachelor of Pharmacy.
Step 2: Undertake a short bridging program
First, you’ll undertake a short bridging program to catch up on your pharmacy practice skills before joining the other third year students when semester commences in March. The program begins in mid-January.
Students entering the Bachelor of Pharmacy program through the graduate-entry pathway must successfully complete the summer intensive bridging course, PAC1001 (Introduction to Pharmacy). Students must successfully complete this bridging course prior to entering the third year of the Bachelor of Pharmacy program in March. Students cannot enter the Bachelor of Pharmacy program in year three without successfully completing the PAC1001 (Introduction to Pharmacy) course.
Step 3: Complete third and fourth year
Step 4: Graduate with the number 1 pharmacy qualification in Australia and the Asia region
