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.
