Pharmacy

If you're an adaptable problem-solver and passionate about helping people, then studying towards a career as a Registered Pharmacist could be a great fit.

Registered Pharmacists are medication experts with a crucial role in healthcare teams, educating people and ensuring the safe and effective use of medicines. 

As a student, you’ll learn how new medicines are developed and designed, how medicines work, which medical conditions they treat and how pharmacists help people use medicine safely and effectively.
