Our innovative Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours is Australia’s only pharmacy degree that can be studied online as well as on campus - UNE was the first university in Australia to offer a Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours by distance education.
Our program addresses the changing role of pharmacists in Australia's increasingly collaborative healthcare environment by offering a practice-based approach to teaching, with an emphasis on patient care, rural health issues and the pharmacist as a member of the primary health care team.
The degree integrates scientific rigour and the development of critical thinking skills to produce confident, career ready graduates. Students studying online are required to attend mandatory intensive schools on campus twice a year.
In the fourth or final year of the degree you will be required to undertake approximately 200 hours of clinical placements in both community and hospital pharmacies, of which some placements will be outside normal university trimester times.
This program has been granted accreditation by the Australian Pharmacy Council and is approved by the Pharmacy Board of Australia as a qualification leading to registration as a pharmacist in Australia.
The Bachelor of Biomedical Science provides an integrated approach to examining contemporary issues in health and disease. Students gain underpinning theoretical knowledge as well as practical laboratory experience in a range of discipline areas including anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology and molecular and cellular biology.
You may include a variety of other subjects in your program including Bioethics, Biophysics, Medicinal Chemistry, Psychology and the Sociology of Medicine.
The Bachelor of Science offers you the opportunity to study a wide range of biological sciences to provide you with the skills and techniques necessary for solving problems associated with a broad range of issues. In the first year of study students are encouraged to establish a broad science base which allows for flexibility in choosing an appropriate major or majors.
You can choose from a range of majors including Animal Science and Veterinary Studies, Biochemistry/Biotechnology, Chemistry, Forensic Science, Genetics, Medicinal Chemistry, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Palaeobiology, Physiology.
The Graduate Certificate in Science and Graduate Diploma in Science provide an opportunity for graduates to upgrade or extend their qualifications in a field of study not covered in depth in their undergraduate studies. Study programs are designed to meet your interests and academic background and involve a combination of coursework selected from a chosen field of study.
Majors in Biochemistry, Biomedical Science, Chemistry, Genetics and Regulatory Science are available in the Graduate Certificate in Science and Graduate Diploma in Science.
The Master of Scientific Studies is a coursework plus research degree designed to provide specialised training in a specific field of study. The Biomedical Science major provides the opportunity to study topics such as molecular biology and chemistry, clinical biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, immunology and haematology, endocrinology and reproductive physiology, neurobiology, genomic analysis and bioinformatics, clinical neuroscience and human development. Students also complete either a thesis embodying the results of a research project or two mini-research projects.
Majors in Biochemistry, Biomedical Science, Chemistry, Genetics and Medicincal Science are available in the Master of Scientific Studies.
At UNE, online study is about the kind of flexibility and support that can only come from a university that has long understood the challenges faced by adults studying from home.
We have three teaching periods (trimesters), giving you greater choice about when and how much they study each year.
We know that a vital part of online study is your engagement with the learning community. Communication with your classmates, teaching staff and university support staff will enhance your study experience and ensure that your skills extend beyond the subject matter. UNE’s teaching staff are experts in their field which is why UNE consistently receives five stars from students for teaching quality.
Online study can also be referred to as 'distance education' (also off-campus, or external study) and provides an opportunity for you to study without having to physically attend a campus.
To make sure your learning can take place when it suits you, UNE provides online facilities which allow you to send questions, submit assignments, engage with other students, order library books, check your results and access other resources, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
As a UNE student, you will have access to our professional support services including:
