The Bachelor of Pharmacy/Bachelor of Commerce double-degree program recognises that pharmacy has a business as well as a professional component. The course is especially relevant for those graduates who are considering managing or owning a pharmacy or those who find themselves in a management role in a hospital pharmacy or the pharmaceutical industry.
Students must complete a major specialisation in one of the
following disciplines taught by the faculty: accounting, finance, economics,
business law and taxation, econometrics and business statistics, management or
marketing. All units taken as part of the major specialisation are limited to
units taught by departments of the faculty on the Clayton campus (ie the third
character of the unit code is C).
Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Clayton
campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics.
