Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science (Honours)

This is a prestigious program of coursework and research in pharmaceutical science for high achieving students who have completed a relevant undergraduate degree. You will undertake research methodology training and carry out an independent research project on a selected topic, working closely with a supervisor who will provide you with individual guidance and academic counselling. The course offers a pathway to higher level research in pharmaceutical science.

Studies can be undertaken within the general research themes of:

• drug discovery biology
• drug delivery, disposition and dynamics (formulation science)
• medicinal chemistry
• medicine use and safety.

With permission of the Graduate Research Committee, it may also be possible to undertake a portion of the research in an external institution such as a hospital or industry laboratory. If a substantial portion of the research work is to be carried out in an external institution you will have an internal supervisor from the faculty and an associate supervisor from the relevant institution.
