How do I get into Pharmacyyy? (1 Viewer)

[hafsah_]

Heyyy,
I hope this message finds you well!!

I just wanted to ask what the difference is between a regular Bachelor's degree and an Advanced one; specifically a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Advanced Science as well as a Bachelor of Medical Science and a Bachelor of Advanced Medical Science. Also, with either of the four, will I be able to do Pharmacy after and how because I can't find anything on it? If not with these courses, which other course will enable me to get into Pharmacy?


Thank youuu

you should aim to get into an undergrad in pharmacy rather than do a bsci if thats what you're set on, if you're still unsure thats fine but, if you do not do pharmacy as an undergrad, you need to take a calculus course, statistics course, 4 chemistry courses, 2 biochemistry courses, 4 pharmacology classes, and 4 physiology classes (it changes based on the uni but something similar to this), so you will need to take that as an undergrad inside of your regular bachelor of science, look at each uni's requirements for their masters for specifics. also, advanced science basically just means more advanced units, but for undergrad pharamcy these are the (main) courses in nsw:

Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) / Master of Pharmacy Practice

This course combines a bachelor's (Honours) and master's degree, culminating with the Pharmacy Board of Australia's intern training program and supervised practice requirements. This means you can apply for general registration as a pharmacist without further supervised practice*.

Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Medicine / Master of Pharmacy

Reimagine the role of a pharmacist. This degree offers a comprehensive education in the pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacy practice and management.

Ohhh okayy,

I don't know how would I be taking them as an undergrad within a B of Sci though; is it some form of application I need to declare? Also, how do I find out the courses/classes you listed? Could you please let me know??


Thank you so muchh

if you're taking a bachelor of science, you have to pick the units as electives or better to major in the relevant areas. eg at usyd they have a major in pharamacology, that would allow you to take the relevant pharmacology classes and similar for the other areas. in general it would probably be best to major in pharamcology and physiology as that would basically give u all the required units. it is much better to do a pharmacy undergrad instead though, it just makes your life easier
