This Diploma is designed primarily to serve as an entry pathway to the Bachelor of Pharmacy with Applied Honours (54A) for students who would like to study pharmacy but do not meet the pre-requisite requirements. It includes a mix of disciplinary subjects offered by the School of Medicine, units designed to prepare students for University study offered by the University College, and foundation units to enable students to develop pre-requisite knowledge offered by the College of Science and Engineering.

The Diploma will provide a structured pathway to the Bachelor of Pharmacy with Applied Honours, progressing students to the point where they will meet the maths and chemistry pre-requisites for the course, as well as providing students with enhanced communication skills and industry-relevant knowledge in over-the-counter medicines.

Career outcomes

Diploma of Pharmacy graduates would have a range of skills which would enable them to be employed and/or enhance their employability within the primary care sector as pharmacy assistants or pharmacy technicians. The content would complement existing education offered within the pharmacy sector by TAFE and professional bodies.
