Graduate entry pharmacy
Our Graduate Entry Pharmacy program offers applicants who hold relevant science-based bachelor degrees accelerated entry into third year of our Bachelor of Pharmacy/Master of Pharmacy. In just three years, you will gain an additional two degrees.
Why pharmacy?
The world needs pharmacists. Pharmacists are highly respected health professionals who are experts in medicines and how they affect the body. They apply their knowledge to advise patients and other healthcare colleagues on the safe and effective use of medicines. They are vital parts of frontline healthcare teams, with a deep understanding of medicines, enabling them to help patients live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
It's an exciting time to be a pharmacist. Across Australia, pharmacists are now able to prescribe certain medications, and Monash is working towards becoming the first University in Victoria to upskill the state's prescribing workforce. The government has also started to provide funding for a new specialty pharmacy role in aged-care settings, and as we enter an increasingly digital age, Digital Health Pharmacy roles are also starting to emerge. One thing is clear; pharmacists are being set-up to make greater, more varied contributions to patient health, making for diverse career choices and even greater career satisfaction.
