|
| What are the entry requirements for the
School's programs? |
- Students applying for the School's Bachelor degree programs must
have satisfactorily completed Stage 2 SACE. A knowledge of Stage 2 SACE Mathematics 1 or 2
is assumed.
- Stage 2 SACE Chemistry is a pre-requisiste for Bachelor of
Biomolecular Chemistry, Bachelor of Laboratory Medicine, Bachelor of Pharmaceutical and
Medical Biotechnology and Bachelor of Pharmacy.
- A knowledge of Physics** is assumed for Bachelor of
Laboratory Medicine and Bachelor of Pharmacy.
**(We will not preclude students who do not have Stage 2 SACE
Mathematics or Physics from entry into the programs, but students may find some sections
of the program difficult without this assumed knowledge).

|
| What do you suggest I do if I
miss out on entry into a program by only a few points? |
There are two main options; that is to
- repeat Year 12 (not necessarily all five subjects, but subjects that
you think you can increase your score)
|
- select a tertiary program (similar to your first preference, i.e.
science-based) and apply through the tertiary transfer system next year. Because
this option of entry is very competitive, you may not be eligible for entry after only 1
or 2 years of tertiary study (We have many prospective students who have
completed their degree). The selection process will look at what program you are
undertaking, what courses you have completed and how well you have done in those courses
|
How long are the programs?
| Bachelor of
Biomolecular Chemistry |
3 years |
| Bachelor
of Applied Science (Food Science and Nutrition) |
3 years |
| Bachelor of Laboratory Medicine |
4 years |
| Bachelor of Pharmaceutical and Medical Biotechnology |
4 years |
| Bachelor of Pharmacy |
4 years |
| Diploma
in Applied Science (Applied Chemistry) |
2 years |
|
| Can I do the bachelor programs
part-time? |
| Yes, you can do the program part-time.
You can do as many or as few courses as you wish, but you must keep in mind that some
courses will be prerequisites for others; i.e. you will not be able to pick up some courses
in second year before you have completed certain courses in first year, etc. |
|
| As I have commenced/completed a
relevant tertiary program, will I be eligible for any status/credit if I get accepted into
one of the School's programs? |
| We will not formally acknowledge
status/credit until a student has enrolled into one of the School's programs. However
staff will look at what courses you have completed and compare them to our course(s) and
advise you accordingly after enrolment. If the program and courses are similar you will
most likely be able to receive some status. When applying for credit, students should
supply a syllabus/course description, number of lectures and practical classes taught in
the course as well as the grade achieved. |
|
| How do I apply for the programs? |
| Application forms are available through
the South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre, Level 4, Esanda House, 104 Frome Street,
Adelaide, 5000. (P.O. Box 2, Rundle Mall., Adelaide, 5001) Telephone:

Application forms are generally available as from the end of July
each year. |
|
| What are the employment
opportunities? |
| Pharmacy: Pharmacists are mainly
employed in community practice, in hospitals, or in the pharmaceutical industry. Small
numbers work in academic institutions, the armed forces and government organisations.
Employment prospects for pharmacists to date have been excellent and it appears that
future demand for pharmacists will continue to be strong. |
|
| Laboratory
Medicine : Graduates
of these programs can expect to find employment in clinical laboratories of major
hospitals, public and private pathology laboratories (Gribbles Pathology, ClinPath),
medical and biological research laboratories (e.g. Institute
of Medical and Veterinary Science, Commonwealth
Scientific Industrial Research Organisation), and in laboratories of tertiary teaching
institutions. |
|
| Medical and Pharmaceutical
Biotechnology : Employment opportunities for graduates are in medical and
pharmaceutical research as well as within the pharmaceutical industry. (e.g. Department of
Primary Industry, Commonwealth Scientific Industrial
Research Organisation (CSIRO), AMGEN, AMRAD, F. H. Faulding & Co. Ltd., Bresagen, Commonwealth
Serum Laboratories. Biotechnology companies are listed here. |
|
| Biomolecular Chemistry: Quality graduates in
these disciplines are in high demand in Industry and for Research careers. You could work
in any one of a wide variety of stimulating and interesting jobs, often as part of a
multidisciplinary team. Careers are available in a a number of areas detailed here. |

| What computing facilities are
available for students? |
| The School of Pharmaceutical, Molecular
and Biomedical Sciences has a strong emphasis in its programs on the use of appropriate IT
skills and resources. Much teaching and learning is supported by various IT packages, both
purchased commercially and developed by staff in the school. In addition the university
has available general computer pools for student use, some with 24 hour access. Access to
facilities such as student email is being enhanced with the new availability of terminals
in strategic locations about the university which students frequently visit e.g. library,
student union office and campus central.
