Graduate Certificate in Pharmacy Practice

The Graduate Certificate in Pharmacy Practice is a two-year program, which incorporates an Intern Training Program (ITP) into the first year to allow pharmacy graduates to meet the legislative requirements to register as a pharmacist in Australia then complete a formal, postgraduate qualification by undertaking an (optional) additional year of study.

The certificate is also available to registered pharmacists who wish to obtain a formal, postgraduate qualification. Registered pharmacists will complete the Graduate Certificate in Pharmacy Practice in two years of part-time study; they will undertake two elective units of study in place of the units relating to the Intern Training Program.
