Join a university ranked in the World Top 150 for pharmacy and pharmacology.1
Pharmacy is one of the most trusted professions in Australia and has enjoyed a strong presence in the community for over 150 years. Through promoting health awareness and providing expert advice on medicines, pharmacists contribute to the betterment of the community. Our Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) is South Australia’s only pharmacy degree, providing the pathway to become a registered pharmacist.
The pharmaceutical industry is rapidly growing, due to an ageing population and technological advances which make it easier and more cost effective for new medications to be created and tested. Our Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science is also the only one of its kind in South Australia, so you can be at the forefront of the discovery, formulation, approval, evaluation and marketing of medicines.
You can expand your career opportunities when you study the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science/Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours), a double degree that is the only one of its kind in Australia.
Our Graduate Certificate in Pharmacy Practice gives intern pharmacists the opportunity to complete the Pharmacy Intern Training Program. In addition, our Master of Clinical Pharmacy is designed for registered Pharmacists wanting to take their unstoppable career further into research and practice.
