Bachelor of Pharmacy Honours

As a pharmacist, you are responsible for providing information, advice, and education on medicines and health issues helping patients achieve optimal health care.

You also advise medical practitioners and other healthcare professionals on the interactions and side effects of medications, medication selection and dosage, and a range of other health-related issues.

During your course, you will develop your knowledge and skills in areas such as the chemical, physical, and biological properties of drugs, how medications work, their usage, and their clinical effects.

You will also have the opportunity to participate in practical activities and complete a pre-registration internship at an Australian pharmacy.

This course meets the demands for Pharmacy services and research in Australia with additional focus on rural and remote practice to meet the unique and diverse needs of communities in these regions.

Pharmacists graduating from the Bachelor of Pharmacy Honours will have research experiences that allow them to continue research in broad fields that include but not limited to new medications discovery to best pharmacy practice.
