Course objectives
The course is designed to equip non-pharmacy graduate students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to enhance career opportunities within the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries, academic pharmaceutical research, or pharmaceutical regulatory organisations.
Career outcomes
It is expected that graduates may be employed in a variety of areas within the biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical industries - in the manufacturing, research, quality control and marketing of pharmaceuticals. Other organisations and institutions where employment could be expected include medical research institutes, hospitals and associated biomedical research laboratories, universities, government research laboratories, and government regulatory agencies. Other graduates will undertake Masters or PhD programs. Graduates will have an in-depth knowledge of the pharmaceutical sciences which will prepare them for careers in health and industry.
Professional Recognition
There is no anticipated formal professional recognition of this course. The award of the Graduate Diploma of Pharmaceutical Science will not qualify a person for registration as a pharmacist.
Course structure
Teaching is primarily based on existing pharmacy undergraduate units and consists of lectures, tutorials, practicals, assignments and a research project. Some online component will be available initially, however, it is anticipated that the online content will increase in future years.
