Master of Clinical Pharmacy - NHG

Entry requirements

Applicants 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:  Students should note that 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:  Applicants are advised that this program is only available offshore/on-line in the student's home country, but requires attendance at compulsory workshops held in Singapore. Applicants MUST contact the Program Director for information on the requirements of the program prior to submitting an application.

Note 3:  Students should note that 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 medicines. The program builds on skills of practice developed as an undergraduate student and is therefore not a pathway to registration as a pharmacist. 

English language entry requirements

In addition, international students who speak English as a foreign language must have obtained one of the following standards within the last two years prior to admission. Possession of one or more of these qualifications, in addition to the academic entry requirements, does not, in itself, guarantee a place at the University of South Australia.

Where previous study/work experience was conducted in English, the application must be accompanied by certified documentation from the educational institution/employer certifying that the language of instruction/employment was English.
