Bachelor of Pharmacy Units of Study
In the first year of the Bachelor of Pharmacy, students will study biology and chemistry and be introduced to pharmacy through foundation and social pharmacy studies. The remaining three years of the course are devoted to higher levels of biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences together with specialised clinical pharmacy studies. In senior years, considerable time is spent in clinical placements in community and hospital pharmacies, where valuable practical experience is gained. Students will have the opportunity to undertake study in a pharmacy major in your fourth year of study (industrial pharmacy or international) or to complete fourth year advanced study and undertake an individual research project as an honours candidate.
