Career opportunities

Pharmacists practice in a wide range of areas, such as community-based pharmacies, as part of multi-disciplinary teams in hospitals and health centres, in aged care facilities, and with unusual experiences in rural and outreach pharmacy and other emerging models of care.
Pharmacists might specialise in small- or corporate- management, in advanced clinical areas or services, and might gain additional qualifications supporting those roles.
Beyond patient care, pharmacists may build careers in drug information, research, policy and regulatory affairs, or work in personalised compounding and the development and manufacture of medicines on an industrial scale.
UniSQ’s Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) provides a pathway to graduate-entry specialisations in pharmacy and healthcare, as well as advanced research opportunities.
