Master of Pharmacy

With specialisations

What is this course about?

CSU's Master of Pharmacy is designed to provide a flexible structure for pharmacists wishing to undertake further studies in the pharmaceutical sciences or pharmacy practice, suited to their individual needs and scope of practice.

CSU's Master of Pharmacy aims to provide qualified pharmacists the opportunity to undertake research, specifically tailored to their individual interests and/or scope of practice.

This course offers the following specialisations:

  • Biotechnology
  • Clinical Pharmacy
  • Herbal Medicine
  • Hospital Pharmacy
  • Medicinal Chemistry
  • Pharmaceutical Technology
  • Pharmacology and Therapeutics
  • Rural Pharmacy

Students will be introduced to various methodological approaches, both qualitative and quantitative, in health research and gain an understanding of research design, gaining ethical approval, implementation and analysis before conducting their own research.

In coordination with a supervisor, students will develop a topic review and background study that will cover the recent advances in their chosen area of specialisation. Students are required to write a literature review, present a poster, and prepare a seminar on a selected topic. This can include experiential placements to learn specific techniques as appropriate.

Students will undertake independent research in an aspect of pharmacy related to their specialisation, developed in conjunction with and approved by the supervisory team. The study involves the collection, analysis and interpretation of new data. The students will be expected to relate their study to practical issues affecting their profession.

Intending applicants should initially contact the Discipline Leader in Pharmacy, Dr Patrick Ball, to discuss their proposed area of specialisation and arrange for further discussions with appropriate supervisors.
