About the course

The Master of Pharmaceutical Science course is a 2-year course offered in Hobart and is taught over four semesters.

　　Teaching is primarily based on hands-on training through individualised laboratory-based interactive sessions. The overarching goal of the course is to equip you with basic and advanced laboratory and analytical skills commonly utilised within pharmaceutical industries and research laboratories. Our approach prepares you for real word employment environments in the pharmaceutical industry and beyond. In particular, the emphasis is on testing practical knowledge and abilities. Practical knowledge will, for example, be developed by exposure to real-world problems and data sets to be analysed and interpreted to identify the reliability of results and their limitations. Similarly, the testing of practical abilities is designed to provide you as well as potential employers, with the confidence that you come equipped with skills that translate into minimal onboarding times for laboratory-based job opportunities.
