Year 1 of the Bachelor of Pharmacy course contains four units specific to the professional program (CSA101,CSA102 Pharmacy in Health Care) and CSA155 and CSA156 Pharmaceutical Science and Practice 1). Thus, it is normally not possible for students who enter the course with credit for some year 1 and 2 units (or subjects deemed equivalent) from previous studies to complete their degree in less than four calendar years.

In specific circumstances, however, it may be possible for certain students in this category to complete their pharmacy degree in three years by completing an appropriate combination of year 1 and 2 units in a single year of study.

Pre-requisites
Students must have completed (or units deemed equivalent):

KRA113, KRA114 Chemistry

CHG111, CHG112 Human Biology

Students must also have completed any two of the following (or units deemed equivalent):

CSA230, CSA231 Pharmacology

CSA225 Medicinal Chemistry

CJA213, CJA214 Microbiology

CBA221, CBA222 Biochemistry

KRA226 Organic Chemistry

Students must have successfully completed the equivalent of at least two years' full-time study at university level.

Enrolment

• Enrolment will be subject to approval by the Head of School.
• Students will enroll in both CSA155, CSA156 and CSA255, CSA256 plus other units as determined.
• The maximum overload carried by any student will not exceed 12.5%
• Withdrawal from CSA255, CSA256 without academic penalty will be subject to the normal university conditions and timetable.
• Failure in units, will make the candidate ineligible to continue without prerequisite requirements (ie failure in CSA155, CSA156 and CSA255, CSA256 will result in candidate being unable to enrol in CSA255, CSA256 until CSA155, CSA156 is successfully completed).

Timetable

Although every effort will be made to avoid or minimise timetable clashes for units normally taken in different years of the Bachelor of Pharmacy course, no guarantee can be given that such clashes will not occur. In such circumstances, the School cannot accept responsibility for the inability of students to attend all teaching sessions in all units.
