Entry requirements
Australian applicants are required to:
- be a Registered Pharmacist with the Pharmacy Board of Australia.
International applicants (see Notes 2, 3 & 4) are required to:
- hold an award from a tertiary institution which is at least equivalent to a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree (see Note 1); and
- be a Registered Pharmacist in their own country or country of residence; and
- have experience in a direct patient care environment.
Note 1: to be considered equivalent to a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree, the award must have a principal focus on pharmacokinetics, applied pharmacology, disease pathophysiology and treatment. An award with a principal focus on pharmaceutical manufacturing will not be considered equivalent for entry to the program.
Note 2: International applicants are advised that this program is only available externally/on-line in the student's home country, but requires attendance at compulsory workshops held in Adelaide or Singapore (depending on numbers). Applicants MUST contact the Program Director for information on the requirements of the program prior to submitting an application.
Note 3: International applicants wishing to study this program externally/on-line in their home country, must meet all entry requirements, including the English Language Requirements, and must provide proof of experience in a patient care environment.
Note 4: The program aims to produce clinical pharmacists capable of providing specialist pharmaceutical services in hospitals and other clinical environments, thereby enhancing the quality use of medicine. The program builds on skills of practice developed as an undergraduate student and is therefore not a pathway to registration as a pharmacist in Australia.
Continuing students only. Program not offered from 2014.
Aim
