Units indexed by faculty Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Pharmaceutical ScienceCourse code: 3288 + Course abbreviation: BE/BPharmSc + Total credit points required: 240 + 5 years full-time, 10 years part-time + Managing faculty: Engineering Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Clayton/Parkville) Course descriptionStudents undertake a program of study combining pharmacy and both general and chemical engineering studies. Course objectivesThe aim of this course is to develop graduates with the knowledge and skills in the core disciplines underpinning chemical engineering and pharmaceutical science to pursue a career in the development and manufacturing of sophisticated formulated products such as pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics and consumer products. Course structureThe course is structured to minimise inter-campus commuting. Students complete the common Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science first level program at Parkville before undertaking a compressed selection of common first level units and second level chemical engineering units at Clayton. The exact combination depends on the student’s prerequisite background on admission and whether any foundation units in mathematics or physics are required. The engineering component of the degree (Levels 2, 4 and 5) therefore varies slightly depending on whether the student has completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) Physics 3/4 and/or Specialist mathematics or their equivalents. The pharmacy component of the degree (Levels 1 and 3) is common to all students. In the third level, the students return to Parkville campus to complete the core second level units and selected third level units. In the final two levels at Clayton students complete higher level chemical engineering units and the biotechnology stream. Students require a total of 240 points, comprising 150 points of engineering units and 90 points of pharmacy units. This program is only available to students pursuing the chemical engineering branch of the engineering component of the double-degree.
