Bachelor Programme
Pharmacy (Honours) and Master of Pharmacy Practice
Sydney's Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) and Master of Pharmacy Practice is a five-year integrated degree covering how medicines are developed and how they act in the body, together with clinical decision making, communication and patient care. Placements in community and hospital pharmacies start in first year, honours research is completed in year four, and the master's year builds in the Pharmacy Board of Australia's intern training. Graduates can apply for general registration as a pharmacist after passing the Board's registration exam. Domestic students apply through UAC (code 513761); international students apply directly to the University.
