Course Description

This graduate entry master course enables science graduates to become registered pharmacists. It provides you with a comprehensive theoretical base, including chemical, biological, physiological, pharmaceutical and pharmacotherapeutics studies. In this course you’ll complete two semesters each year and two additional study periods over the summer. The first study period is an intensive six-week training program involving continuous assessment, during which you’ll be introduced to important concepts in pharmaceutics. The rest of your first year will focus on pharmaceutical science and chemistry, pharmacology and pharmaceutical practice. At the beginning of your second year, you’ll complete a community pharmacy placement under the supervision of a practising pharmacist to develop skills in the clinical setting. Also throughout that year, you’ll focus on pharmacotherapy, develop research skills and complete a hospital placement to cement your practical skills. Throughout the course, you’ll use high quality laboratories and facilities designed to enhance teaching and provide you with essential practical skills. The laboratories include a model dispensary, manufacturing laboratory, asepsis suite and contemporary compounding facilities.
