The School of Pharmacy and Applied Science offers:
- Bachelor of Pharmacy
- Bachelor of Science
(Both with Honours)
- Bachelor of Chemical Sciences
and several associated double degrees for high achieving students.
The Department provides quality teaching and prides itself on its teaching methods, including using small classes for most subjects, which has associated advantages and allows a very personal approach to teaching and plenty of hands-on experience with instrumentation. Employment prospects of graduates for either pharmacy or science degrees are excellent. The Bachelor of Pharmacy is well regarded by the profession. The Biotechnology Research Centre and the Colloid and Environmental Science group within the School are first class research institutes. The Biotechnology Research Centre has a particular interest in the development and understanding of wastewater treatment processes and environmental health by using a wide range of advanced techniques, many of which are taught in the undergraduate program. The Colloid and Environmental Science group has expertise relating to the understanding and modelling the transport of toxic chemicals through soils and water systems. The School encourages good students into honours and PhD programs in pharmacy and science. Many of our PhD graduates have become extremely successful research scientists, with careers that have taken them all over the world.
