Master of Clinical Pharmacy

Entry requirements

Australian applicants are required to:

• have a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree or equivalent;
• be a Registered Pharmacist with the Pharmacy Board of Australia OR for permanent residents not practising as a registered pharmacist in Australia, be a Registered Pharmacist in their current country of residence; and
• have experience in a direct patient care environment.

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:  International 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:  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:  International 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 in Australia.

In addition to meeting academic entry requirements, international students who speak English as a second or additional language must also meet the University's English language entry requirements.
