This combined bachelor's and Doctor's (CBD), is designed for you to excel as a pharmacist upon graduation, highlighting the critical role pharmacists play as frontline healthcare providers and equipping you for the expanding scope of practice across diverse healthcare settings and specialised fields. This four-year course begins with a comprehensive foundation in the human body, chemistry, physiology and pharmacology. As the course progresses, you'll build on essential knowledge of how medicines work and interact with the body, along with key principles of clinical pharmacy practice. In the Doctor of Pharmacy there is a focus on developing your skills to become a compassionate and ethical practitioner through a person-centred approach to healthcare.
