You have the option of completing the course in either:
OR
You do not necessarily need to decide on the stream of study you want to complete the course in at the beginning of your course; there is some flexibility for you to move across the two streams but that does depend on the units you enrol into, have completed or may have been granted credit for.
We do encourage you to make time to chat to your line manager/supervisor and colleagues before making a decision regarding the stream of study to complete the MClinPharm in to ensure that your choice will best benefit your career progression.
Please do reach out to either the course director, Associate Professor Kirstie Galbraith or the Postgraduate Coursework Office if you would like to set up a time to discuss selection of stream of study or if you require course planning advice.
Please note that each 6 credit point unit you enrol in will require on average 10-12 hours of scheduled activities (e.g. teacher directed learning, reading time, participation in online discussions or discussion groups, research and preparation for assignments) per week. We suggest that you start your first semester of enrolment by enrolling in just 6 credit points of study.
