Overview
- The Bachelor of Pharmacy and Management (Honours) and Master of Pharmacy Practice at the University of Sydney is a comprehensive six-year full-time combined programme designed to prepare students for professional practice as pharmacists and equip them with business, management and leadership skills within pharmacy and healthcare environments.
- The Bachelor component covers pharmaceutical science (medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, pharmacy practice) plus management, marketing, business law and other business-related units, giving graduates a dual profile.
- The Master of Pharmacy Practice component integrates supervised professional practice (“intern training programme” and supervised practice hours) required by the regulatory body (the Pharmacy Board of Australia) for pharmacist registration, meaning students emerge ready for registration without needing a separate internship year.
- Graduates are thereby positioned for diverse roles: community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, industrial/healthcare business roles, management of pharmacy services, and leadership in innovative pharmacy practice models.
- With a strong emphasis on clinically-relevant science plus business acumen, this programme gives an edge for those aiming to run or manage pharmacies, engage in pthe harmaceutical industry, or combine clinical and managerial roles.
