Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Medicine / Master of Pharmacy

Program Overview

Innovate the healthcare sector with a degree that reimagines the role of a pharmacist. To meet the changing demands of contemporary healthcare delivery, pharmacists are no longer limited to dispensing, compounding and providing medicines information. This combined degree will prepare you for current and emerging areas of practice.

Be at the forefront of the evolving pharmacy sector with a comprehensive education in the pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacy practice and management. This unique degree provides a breadth of skills and knowledge that goes beyond traditional pharmacy to develop skilled and confident practitioners that will be highly sought after in the healthcare sector. It will prepare you for a wide range of careers in community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, healthcare governance, research, the pharmaceutical industry, general practice or aged care.

The role of a pharmacist continues to expand beyond traditional dispensing roles into the provision of more advanced clinical services, including:

  • Reviews of how medicines are used by individual patients
  • Evaluations of how medicines are used in health systems
  • Vaccine administration
  • Becoming a part of general practice and aged care services

This future-focused degree reflects the complexity and evolution of the profession. You'll develop your skills in a range of current areas of practice (e.g., home medicine reviews) and future areas of practice.

The bachelor's degree will focus on foundational and pharmaceutical sciences including pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenomics, pharmaceutics and medicinal chemistry. The master's degree explores advanced pharmacotherapeutics, pharmacy practice and management. You can also take elective courses from our Master of Public Health and Master of Health Leadership and Management programs to complement your pharmacy studies and further expand the breadth of your education.
