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.
