Course opportunities
The clinical experience program in the Master of Pharmacy reflects the contemporary healthcare environment. Students undertake 3 x two-week block placements during their first year. Students also have a further 2 x two-week block placements in their second year. By the end of their second year, all students have had at least five, two-week block placements in clinical experience. The block placements are carried out at hospital and community pharmacies and include opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry, professional organisations and in rural health settings.

Before you can attend a placement, you need to have certain clinical placement checks and clearances. You will need a criminal record check and evidence of vaccinations. The checks can be completed after your enrolment in the course. You will need to supply your proof of vaccination documents when you attend your placement (including any existing records of vaccinations from your home country). All documents requested are to be provided in English. If not in English, a certified translation is required to be provided.

Enrolment into the pharmacy program will require that you are registered as a student with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Career Pathways
Pharmacists are an integral part of the healthcare system and have the capacity to directly affect the lives and lifestyles of the people with whom they interact.
