UNDERGRADUATE

Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours

Pharmacists play a central part in collaborative health care teams, working alongside doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals as the medication experts

Degree Details

Study a unique blend of health, science and communication, and graduate as a medication expert.

Because of our relationships with leading pharmacists and service providers, our graduates are among the very best in Australia. Your education will be high quality and hands-on with placement opportunities available locally, interstate and overseas.

After you graduate and complete a paid internship, you can apply to register as a pharmacist in
Australia. Pharmacists are highly sought-after medical professionals with wide-ranging career
opportunities in metropolitan as well as rural and remote areas.

Our new fast-track Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours adopts a trimester teaching model, allowing you to complete a traditional 4-year degree in just 3 years and get into the workplace sooner.

We offer a minimum of 450 hours of professional placements during your studies, as well as
significant laboratory and project experiences. This hands-on learning begins right from the first year, and culminates in the second trimester of your final year where you'll spend time on professional experience placements (PEP), learning to lead medication management in multidisciplinary health teams, and undertaking a research project.

Placements can be conducted here in Tasmania, as well as in Australia and even internationally
(travel restrictions pending). Previous students have completed their clinical placement in Canada and the United Kingdom.

In your final year, you'll also participate in real-world group-based collaborative research projects
in clinical settings. As the hub for pharmaceutical teaching and research in Tasmania, our industry, community, and government connections

100% of our 2021 graduates gained full-time employment within four months of graduating, with most of our graduates go on to practice as registered pharmacists in the community or in hospitals, working with other healthcare professionals and with consumers in an expanding range of roles that optimise the consumers' medication management.

A degree in pharmacy from the University of Tasmania will open up a range of career options. These include employment in community pharmacies, hospitals, general practices and many other health settings. You may choose to pursue a career utilising your skills in other ways, such as medication management review, pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality control, research, academia, biomedical sciences, or the armed forces.

"If I had to pick a highlight of my career so far, it would be implementing governmental state-wide policies within the Health Department."

– Amber Roberts, Bachelor of Pharmacy Alumni
