Information for new applicants

The Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy is intended for students who have earned a Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) degree and wish to extend their knowledge by way of postgraduate study.

Practising as a registered pharmacist is a prerequisite.

Students who have first completed the PGCertPharm (endorsed in Medicines Management) need to complete two further papers. During the application process please request a cross-credit of papers completed during the Postgraduate Certificate in Pharmacy (PGCertPharm) programme.

Students enrolling directly into the PGDipClinPharm will need to select the first two of four papers required. The PHCY 510 paper is a prerequisite for the programme and therefore is required to be completed first.

You will then need to complete the online process to apply for the PGDipClinPharm programme and once you have been admitted to the programme select your papers.
