The units of study that may be taken for the course are set out in the Units of Study table for the Bachelor of Pharmacy and Management.

To qualify for the award of the pass degree, a candidate must complete 240 credit points, comprising:

192 credit points of core units of study in the first four years; and
(b)
an additional 48 credit points consisting of:

5 Additional requirements prior to commencing clinical placements

(1)
Information about the procedures for gaining clearance for clinical placements will be provided after enrolment.

Student clearance for clinical placements
The New South Wales Department of Health requires that all students obtain clearance in order to undertake clinical placements. This involves a criminal record check according to NSW Health policy.
(3)
Prohibited employment declaration
All students should complete a prohibited employment declaration as required by the NSW Commission for Children and Young People.
(4)
Immunisation
All students must have evidence of vaccinations and immunisation against certain infectious diseases prior to undertaking clinical placements. The requirements are consistent with Australian public health policy and NSW Health guidelines.

6 Progression rules

(1)
Candidates may not take a second or third year unit of study until they have:
(a)
gained credit for at least 24 credit points in units of study of the previous year; and
(b)
successfully completed the units of study prescribed by the Faculty as qualifying or prerequisite units of study, as set out in the Units of Study table.
(2)
Candidates who fail only one first year unit of study and have no previous record of failure in the degree, who have an annual average mark (AAM) of >60 for that year, may apply to the Dean for a prerequisite waiver which would allow enrolment in the full complement of units of study in the following year, together with the failed unit of study.
(3)
Candidates may not take a fourth year unit of study until they have successfully completed all first and second year units of study, and successfully completed the third year units of study, prescribed by the Faculty as qualifying or prerequisite units of study for the fourth year as set out in the Units of Study table.

Candidates may not take a fifth year unit of study until they have successfully completed all the fourth year units of study as set out in the Units of Study table except as permitted in 6(5).
(5)
Candidates who fail only one fourth year unit of study, who have an annual average mark (AAM) of >60 for fourth year, and who have no previous record of failure in the degree, may apply to the Dean for a prerequisite waiver which would allow enrolment in the full complement of subsequent year units of study, together with the failed unit of study. This condition applies only to a fail in a single unit of study, not to the OSCE (Objective Structures Clinical Examination), which is a barrier examination and a component of all units of study (except Pharmaceutical Skills and Dispensing A and B). Candidates who fail the OSCE will not be entitled to apply for a prerequisite waiver and will be required to satisfactorily repeat ALL fourth year units of study (with the exception of Pharmaceutical Skills and Dispensing A and B if these Units of Study have already been passed.)
