Bachelor of Pharmacy and Management

The Bachelor of Pharmacy and Management is an undergraduate degree offered at the Faculty of Pharmacy with a focus on Management. The degree is a full-time, five-year course with progression towards the degree by the accumulation of credit points. The degree may be awarded at the Pass or Honours level.

Curriculum

This degree focuses on the pharmacy as a business. Graduates will combine the knowledge required to become a registered pharmacist with the skills to integrate sound business practice with sustainable health care.

The first year is a foundation year in which students study biology, chemistry and introductory pharmacy and business subjects, with a progressive emphasis on pharmaceutical science and the professional practice of pharmacy.

Business subjects are incorporated into the first three years and the final year of the program. Practical pharmacy experience is emphasised, particularly in the third and fourth years.

In the fifth year students complete an additional business unit of study with a flexible final semester allowing students to choose an optional major such as an industry placement or an international exchange.
