About the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences
From the Head of School
Welcome to the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences at the University
of South Australia. Based at City East campus in the heart of South
Australia's premier medical training and research precinct, the School
offers a range of professional programs that prepare graduates for rewarding
careers in health science.
With more than 120 staff members and over 1000 students, the School is large
enough to offer a wide choice of programs and courses, yet small enough to
provide a supportive environment where each student is encouraged to do
their best. Our modern purpose-built facilities, experienced and dedicated
staff, and strong industry links combine to give our students skills that
are highly regarded by employers in Australia and around the world.
We offer

The School has a long-standing commitment to outcomes-based research that
responds to today's big health care challenges with very strong links to the
