UTAS Bachelor of Pharmacy
UTAS is excited to announce that from 2023 their Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours will become the first and only fast track 3-year Bachelor of Pharmacy in Australia.
Through offering the program on a trimester model it will see students being able to graduate more quickly, save on living costs during studies and join the workforce while still studying the same amount of curriculum to give them the skills industry require. There is a growing demand for pharmacists in Australia, particularly in regional areas.

With UTAS’s graduates already enjoying the highest medium starting salary of any undergraduate pharmacy degree in Australia* UTAS is confident that this change will only continue to see their graduates being highly regarded by industry.
