Studying Pharmacy in Australia - Pharmacy Australia

Pharmacy is a great career for those interested in science and health care. It is a highly specialised field that provides a secure and fascinating career path and offers a wide range of prospective workplaces.

Pharmacy is a competitive course to get into as it demands high Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT) scores and tertiary entrance rank. The Bachelor of Pharmacy is a four year course and centres around the following four core areas: Medical chemistry, Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics and Pharmacy practice. In the later years of the course students will have to complete a practical component which may involve work in hospital and community pharmacies. Soon to become more popular will be the Post Graduate Diploma of Pharmacy.
