The
Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science at UniSA is an exciting new degree
program that has been developed to enable graduates to have the greatest
possible range of career choices within the pharmaceutical and related
industries. Extensive consultation with potential employers across
Australia and South East Asia was undertaken to identify current and
future industry needs. The Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science has been
specifically developed to equip students with the skills to meet these
needs. The program development team comprising experienced pharmacy and
pharmaceutical science educators alongside industry representatives have
put together a varied and flexible program that gives students
entry-level training for various career roles, with the opportunity to
specialise in one or more areas through their elective choice. At the
end of the degree, high achieving students can expand their options even
further through entry into a research honours program.

Over
the past 10 years, research and development spending for the world’s top
20 pharmaceutical manufacturers has more than doubled. This rapid
expansion has generated a need for graduates with a broad and formal
education in the pharmaceutical sciences. The breadth of knowledge and
skills provided by the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Sciences ensures that
UniSA graduates will be highly sought after by local and international
employers in the pharmaceutical industry.
