Pharmacy Handbook 2018

Welcome to the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Sydney. The faculty is recognised as one of the leading centres for Pharmacy education in Australia and enjoys an outstanding national and international reputation for research and innovation. Innovative teaching and clinical and experiential placements provide our students with a well rounded and professionally relevant pharmacy degree, putting them in high demand with employers.

University changes to faculty structure

In 2018, the faculties of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing and Midwifery, and Pharmacy became schools within a new, combined faculty called the Faculty of Medicine and Health.

For students in these faculties, current courses and units of study offered through the previous faculties will continue as the University transitions to the new faculty. Most of you will not see any difference in your day-to-day interaction with the University, however some administrative processes may change and the individual handbooks for Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing and Midwifery, and Pharmacy will be maintained for 2018.

Existing faculty resolutions, including award course resolutions, will transfer to the new faculty. The University of Sydney (Governance of Faculties and University Schools) Rule 2016 (324KB PDF) covers the management and governance framework for the new faculty. Any future changes to academic programs offered will be developed and approved through the University’s normal mechanisms involving the faculty, the Academic Board and the University Senate.
