Master of Pharmacy Changes 药学硕士变化
The Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney has recently made a change to the Master of
Pharmacy, which is designed to improve the student experience. The change includes a reduction in the clinical
placement hours required within the master's degree for new students commencing from 2025.
The reduction has been based on student feedback on the need to streamline the clinical placement within the
Master of Pharmacy, and this change will ensure students have time for a break between semesters to better manage
their commitments.
Previously, students who studied the Master of Pharmacy CRICOS code 05004D were required to undertake a total of
350 hours (10 weeks) of clinical placement during their candidature, but from Semester 1, 2025 onwards, new
students commencing their studies will be required to complete a total of 280 hours (8 weeks). This change means
that students will still complete enough placement hours across a variety of settings and in line with the Australian
Pharmacy Council accreditation requirements, whilst reducing the total hours required to be spent in clinical
placements during their candidature.
We will be writing to applicants and offer holders for the Master of Pharmacy CRICOS code 05004D commencing in
Semester 1, 2025 to advise that they will have their applications transferred across to be assessed for admission into
the Master of Pharmacy CRICOS code 116243F for Semester 1, 2025.
