About the Course

This four-year degree is your first step to becoming a pharmacist. It prepares you for the one-year internship program that you need to successfully complete in order to gain Australia-wide registration. Once you've successfully completed the degree and the internship, you can practise in any area of pharmacy in Australia, including community or hospital pharmacy. Alternatively, the degree provides you with a foundation from which you can progress with further studies to achieve a range of other career opportunities. As an RMIT pharmacy student you’ll benefit from a supportive academic community with diverse research strengths. You’ll be able to gain real-world experience through work placements in both hospital and community pharmacies. You’ll develop a sound scientific base in studies that include biochemistry, biostatistics, human biology, genetics, microbiology, immunology and cell biology. In-depth knowledge of pharmacology, pharmacy practice, pharmaceutics and therapeutics is gained along with an understanding of drug development, clinical trials, regulatory affairs and pharmacovigilance.
