The following should be read in conjunction with the statements on the Bachelor of Pharmacy, set out above, and the Bachelor of Commerce, located in the Faculty of Business and Economics section of this handbook.
The double-degree course of Bachelor of Pharmacy and Bachelor of Commerce
requires a minimum of six years full-time study. Students complete the Bachelor
of Pharmacy in the first four years of study at the Parkville campus, and then
complete the Bachelor of Commerce in the following two years at the Clayton
campus.
The Bachelor of Commerce is recognised as meeting academic requirements for
accounting, banking and finance professional associations.
Students must complete units to the value of a minimum of 294
credit points, subject to the following conditions:
(a) 192 points must be from the Faculty of Pharmacy and must satisfy the
requirements for the Bachelor of Pharmacy.
(b) 102 points must be chosen from units offered by the Faculty of Business and
Economics (Clayton) and must include:
(i) completion of the following compulsory units:
(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 units that may be defined in the catalogue of courses and units.
(iii) a maximum of eight first-year-level units (48 credit points). In order to meet this requirement, students are able to undertake the second-year versions of the appropriate number of compulsory units.
