Best universities in Australia for Pharmacy

Pharmacy sits within medicine and health sciences, and Australian providers offer it at every level from bachelor's degree through to PhD or doctorate. There are 101 registered courses in the field, taught across 21 providers. That range matters if you are weighing up where to start or how far to go. You could begin with a bachelor's degree, add an honours year, or enter later through a graduate certificate, graduate diploma or master's degree. Charles Sturt University, Monash University, the University of Queensland and the University of Sydney are among the providers offering pharmacy courses. With 21 providers in the mix, the choice is less about whether pharmacy is taught somewhere and more about which structure suits you. Some students want a long first degree. Others prefer to test the water with a shorter qualification before committing to a master's or a doctorate. Check what each provider actually offers at the level you want.
