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 undergraduate programs in Pharmacy, Laboratory Medicine and Nutrition and Food Science, with a new degree in Pharmaceutical Science to be launched in 2008. The School also delivers expert teaching in allied health programs in UniSA’s Division of Health Sciences and the Bachelor of Science. Doctoral and Masters degrees by research programs are provided in all discipline areas of the School.
Our coursework postgraduate programs in Clinical Pharmacy and Surgical Pathology Preparation provide continuing professional development to practicing pharmacists and laboratory technicians.
The School has a long-standing commitment to outcomes-based research that responds to today’s big health care challenges. Founded in 2004, the Sansom Institute brings together internationally-recognised research concentrations in quality use of medicines and pharmacy, molecular medicine and pharmaceutical science. CPR Client Services provides contract research services to national and international pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
