This program builds on the strong pharmaceutical science foundation achieved in the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science and integrates further advanced studies in pharmaceutical science, professional and clinical pharmacy practice and pharmacy research. This course provides students with a broad range of lectures, group and self-directed learning activities, practical competence-development simulations and clinical placements to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to undertake the internship program before applying for registration as a pharmacist. The pharmacy internship training program is 48 weeks in duration and its completion and meeting the terms of all other statutory requirements are mandatory, before applying to the Pharmacy Board of Australia for registration as a pharmacist. For pharmacist registration purposes the Master of Pharmacy program articulates with the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science.
