The Doctor of Pharmacy (an extended master degree) prepares you for pharmacist registration through advanced clinical training in expanded practice areas such as prescribing and complex medication management, alongside a one-year integrated internship.
Designed for graduates of Curtin’s Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) or equivalent accredited pharmacy degrees, this course represents the next stage in an integrated pharmacy registration pathway. Entry is competitive and based on academic performance.
Beyond traditional dispensing roles, pharmacists are taking on an increasingly central role in patient care, contributing to prescribing, clinical decision-making, and collaborative management of complex health needs within multidisciplinary teams.
This qualification develops your advanced clinical capability alongside your professional judgement, communication, and leadership skills. You’ll be prepared to manage complex medication-related problems, prescribe, support medicine optimisation, and lead safe, patient-centred care across a range of settings including hospitals, general practice, aged care and community pharmacy.
On completion, you’ll be eligible to sit the registration exams (subject to accreditation) and use the title ‘Doctor of Pharmacy’.
This can be a physically and mentally challenging course. Please familiarise yourself with the inherent requirements before applying.
Note: this course is available to study from 2029.
