Bachelor of Pharmacy set out above and the Bachelor of Commerce in the Faculty
of Business and Economics section.
The double-degree course of Bachelor of Pharmacy and Bachelor of Commerce
requires a minimum of six years of full-time study or, for the Bachelor of
Commerce, the equivalent of two years full-time in part-time study. Students
must complete the course within 11 years. The pharmacy component of the course
can only be undertaken on a full-time basis.
Students complete the Bachelor of Pharmacy in the first four years of study
following the normal study program at the Parkville campus, and then complete
the Bachelor of Commerce in the following two years at the university's Clayton
campus. Eight compulsory first-year subjects in commerce AFC1021/AFC1022 (Accounting

ECC1010 (Economics), ETC1020 and ETC1031 (Business and economic statistics),
MGC1020 and MGX1010 (Introduction to management) and two second-year commerce
subjects in the major field of study are completed in the first of these years.
In the second year, each student undertakes eight commerce subjects combining
second and third-year subjects. The course structure for this year is shown in
