Pharmacists play a central part in collaborative health care teams. Working alongside doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, they're essential in helping people manage their health as the medication experts. Our pharmacy degree is ideal for those who like to help people, enjoy chemistry and biology, and want to step straight into a well paying career. Extensive relationships with leading pharmacists and service providers in Tasmania and abroad inform your learning experiences, and these connections provide significant work-integrated learning opportunities throughout your studies. We ensure you can take advantage by offering a minimum of 400 hours of professional experience placement during your studies. As a limited intake course you will also enjoy a low studentteacher ratio at all three campus locations, as well as significant practical experiences, which combine to deliver a highly supported education with significant hands-on and industry experience upon graduation. This puts you in high demand with future employers. After you graduate and complete a paid internship, you can apply to register as a pharmacist in Australia. Pharmacists are vital in both large and small communities, and are found in the private and public sector, in metropolitan and rural regions around the country. You could also find a career in research, vaccinations, medication review, industry relations, medication advisory in government and non government organisations, or the armed forces.
