Curriculum
The program places a strong emphasis on the development of sound therapeutic knowledge and good communication skills. In addition to the coursework components of the program, students also undertake a number of compulsory experiential placements in community and hospital pharmacies during their studies.
The first two years of the program provide a comprehensive coverage of biological, chemical and pharmaceutical sciences in addition to developing the skills needed for ethical pharmacy practice in a changing world. Within these two years, students also focus on the study of common disease states and the drugs to treat them. Students consolidate their knowledge and skills in the third and fourth years with study of the major discipline of pharmacotherapeutics, learning more about research methods and the trialling and regulation of medicines, and continuing to explore the many facets of pharmacy practice.
