Students enrolled in the new Pharmacy curriculum are enrolled in ‘PHR’ coded units introduced from 2017.
All students enrolled in the five year degree P6001, if successfully completing four years, will be course completed from a BPharm(Hons) degree at the end of the fourth year. This is because students entering the fifth year enter the masters/internship year and must be pre-registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Students can only become pre-registered if they have completed an undergraduate Pharmacy degree.
If a student enrolled in P6001 decides not to complete the fifth and final year, they can simply discontinue the course P6001 after they are course completed from BPharm(Hons) at the end of their fourth year.
International students who are enrolled in the four-year program, who wish to complete the five-year course should transfer to BPharm(Hons)/MPharm code P6001 no later than October of third year. Refer to our transfer information.
Our undergraduate Pharmacy courses are full-time and fixed, and therefore students have a course plan set without choice of electives. There is also a pass by year rule and a pass by semester rule from year two. This means that a fail in the course will add an additional year to the duration of the course and intermission (break from study) will likely be required. Due to projects and placements, particularly in the fourth year of the course, the faculty might make use of alternate semester dates. Overall students should follow the course requirements as stated in the Undergraduate Handbook and plan their study using the relevant course map, as follows:
