The following should be read in conjunction with the statement on the
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.
Students must complete subjects to the value of a minimum of 294 credit points
subject to the following conditions:
(a) 192 points must be from the Victorian College of Pharmacy, and must
satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor of Pharmacy.
(b) 102 points must be chosen from subjects offered by the Faculty of
Business and Economics (Clayton) and must include:
(i) completion of the following compulsory subjects:
(ii) completion of a major
in a discipline or field of study of the faculty. This requires students to
complete 48 points of study in a single discipline or field of study with at
least 12 points at each of second and third-year level. Disciplines are defined
by department prefixes and fields of study are those sets of related subjects
that may be defined in the catalogue of courses and subjects.
(iii) a maximum of eight first-year-level subjects (48 credit points). In
order to meet this requirement, students are able to undertake the second-year
versions of the appropriate number of compulsory subjects.
