STRU-PHRMF v.1 Pharmacy First Year Stream (BSc HlthSc)
Major/Stream Overview
This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information.
This particular pathway is for students who may wish to study Pharmacy in the future and have not met the course pre-requisites. You will be eligible to apply for the Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) if you achieve a course weighted average of 70 percent after completing this stream (200 credits). If you have not completed the equivalent of Mathematics Applications ATAR, you need to study MATH1013 Introductory Mathematics instead of PUBH1000 Introduction to Public Health. If you have not completed the equivalent of Chemistry ATAR you should study both CHEM1003 Introduction to Chemistry in first semester and CHEM1001 Biological Chemistry (instead of CHEM1006 Pharmaceutical Chemistry) in second semester. If you are accepted as a course switcher into the Bachelor of Pharmacy and you have not undertaken the specific relevant first year units (due to required pre-requisites) you will be given the opportunity to do so and will study first year on a part-time basis.
