School of Pharmacy
Situated on Griffith University's Gold Coast campus, the School provides a comprehensive education in all elements of Pharmacy. Our graduates are well equipped to undertake the pharmacy intern program offered by the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia. They have the knowledge and skills required to serve their patients in an ethical and professional manner while keeping place with rapidly evolving pharmacotherapies.
Pharmacy education at Griffith University is innovative and responsive to the needs of the profession and the community. We offer a unique double degree with a strong foundation in pharmaceutical sciences and clinical application as the pathway towards registration as a pharmacist.
Griffith offers a three year Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science articulated with a 1.5 year Master of Pharmacy. For those with previous degrees in a science or health science discipline, the one year Graduate Diploma in Pharmaceutical Science also articulates into the one and a half year Master of Pharmacy.
The Honours degree, Master of Medical Research and PhD programs provide research study options across the pharmaceutical, pharmacological, clinical and professional practice areas.
Griffith's School of Pharmacy has established both research and teaching links with community pharmacists and hospitals in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast and holds joint appointments with external organisations.
Our new purpose-built facility features a professional practice laboratory with a model dispensary, a dedicated formulation laboratory and aseptic dispensing unit, and research laboratories.
The Griffith Pharmacy program with its state-of-the-art facilities, equipment and teaching provides a unique and innovative emphasis in pharmaceutical sciences and a comprehensive suite of professional courses providing core skills for contemporary professional practice including drug information, evidence based medicine, pharmacotherapeutics, business management, research-based learning and professional pharmacy practice.
