Bachelor of Pharmacy BPharm

There’s so much more to pharmacy than donning a white coat and counting pills. Pharmacists are experts in the safe and effective use of medicines. They fulfil a multitude of roles across the healthcare sector. Our Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) prepares you to work as part of healthcare teams in supporting the health of people and communities.

You’ll develop the patient assessment, clinical and professional skills necessary for effective interactions with other health professionals, patients and the public.

Programme highlights:

• An integrated, experience-based programme developed with leading pharmacists and other health providers
• An emphasis on critical thinking, problem solving, and using research evidence to inform clinical decision making
• Ten weeks of real-world practice, learning in placements across the programme in pharmacy, clinical and other health settings
• Many simulations, labs and workshops in our model-pharmacy teaching suite and world-class pharmaceutical sciences laboratories
