If you’re looking to become a pharmacist, this 4-year program is your first step. It prepares you for the 1-year internship you need to do to gain Australia-wide registration.
As a pharmacist you will ensure safe and effective use of drugs improving the health and wellbeing of our community. You’ll gain knowledge on how and why drugs work, how they are formulated and administered and how they are used in the treatment of disease.
On completion of the accredited RMIT degree and the intern year, you may practice in any area of pharmacy in Australia including community or hospital pharmacy.
The degree provides you with an extensive scientific foundation from which you can do further studies in research or business and achieve a wide range of career opportunities.
Entry Requirements
You must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 (or equivalent senior secondary school qualification) with a minimum 65% average.
Prerequisites: Chemistry and Higher Mathematics; or VCE Units 3 and 4 in Chemistry and Mathematics (any), with a study score of at least 25.
