About the course

Want to launch your pharmacy career with an accredited degree and a wealth of hands-on experience You’re in the right place. La Trobe's Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) is your path to a successful career as a pharmacist. Accredited by the Australian Pharmacy Council (APC), this degree builds your understanding of how medicines can help in treating diseases, how medicines can impact people's lives, and the importance of patient-centred and individualised care. You'll develop the practical, technical and human skills needed to provide medicines to the public. Based at our Bendigo Campus, you'll have access to La Trobe's on-campus training pharmacy as well as community and hospital networks. Plus you'll benefit from embedded training in vaccination delivery, mental health first-aid and medication reviews, so you'll graduate well-positioned for a successful career. In your first two years, you'll study the fundamentals in science – biochemistry, chemistry, physiology and pharmacology – along with pharmacy subjects. Across your next two years, you'll focus on subjects such as pharmacy practice and therapeutics (treatment of diseases). You'll delve into public health – examining issues in rural and remote Australia and across Indigenous communities. You'll also learn about the dynamic digital health space. Choose a pharmacy course designed in consultation with our industry advisory committee, practising pharmacists and researchers. That way, you can be confident your skills are in demand. After graduation, you'll be eligible to complete a one-year internship and take the Australian Pharmacy Board exams to qualify as a professional pharmacist. Industry experience is a big part of this degree.
