The Bachelor of Pharmacy program is designed in collaboration with top New Zealand pharmacy professionals, addressing the demands of modern and future pharmaceutical practice. This degree moves beyond conventional medication chemistry and dispensing methods. Our curriculum integrates elements like pharmaceutical innovation, patient-centered care, and enhancing pharmacist-patient relationships through interdisciplinary healthcare collaboration. Core subjects including public health medicine, behavioral sciences, drug mechanisms, clinical pharmacy, and pharmaceutical sciences form the foundation of this program. These areas are complemented by studies in biological sciences, pharmaceutical chemistry, immune system science, and practical pharmacy training – covering ethical considerations in practice and medication management. Admission to the BPharm program is restricted and highly selective. Candidates are chosen based on academic achievement and personal attributes demonstrated during the multiple mini interview (MMI) process. Only 100 students are accepted annually.
