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 we 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 countrys best-equipped facilities at our Parkville campus. We make sure our pharmacy students get plenty of practice accessing, assessing, and communicating medicines information to patients and to other health providers. Domestic students: If you are a domestic student who wishes to initially commit to four years of study instead of five, you may want to enrol in the BPharm(Hons) in the first instance. You can choose to switch your enrolment to the BPharm(Hons)MPharm at any time in your degree; note that this fifth year of study, which includes a paid internship, is required to register to practice as a pharmacist in Australia. International students: If you are an international student who anticipates practicing pharmacy outside of Australia, you may find that the master’s component of our 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.
