Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours

The Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours (BPharm(Hons)) programme comprises the standard Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) programme with additional training in advanced research design, methodologies, techniques and analysis resulting in a research dissertation. The main objective of the BPharm(Hons) degree is to provide education and training in research to a small, academically select group of undergraduate pharmacy students who have achieved a high GPA and have an interest in research careers. The Honours programme will provide additional learning opportunities to outstanding students that will be of benefit to them when applying for competitive postgraduate positions, scholarships and funding as well as meeting the University's criteria for direct entry to PhD programmes. BPharm(Hons) students can also apply to go through the process to be registered as Pharmacists in New Zealand.

Admission to the programme shall be subject to the approval of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Health Sciences). Applicants must be current candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Pharmacy undertaking the Third Year of the programme. Applicants must have a grade average of at least B+ after completion of the first semester of Third Year.
