The degree of Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) consists of a preliminary twelve-month program of coursework and research which must be completed to the satisfaction of the examiners before the candidate can proceed to the second year of studies.
The Master of Pharmacy (Preliminary) (MPharm(Prelim)) program is open to students who have completed a recognised Bachelor of Pharmacy or Bachelor of Science degree or equivalent with good grades. Students with a recognised honours degree or equivalent may be admitted direct to Master of Pharmacy candidature.
Students are not precluded from nominating the area in which they wish to pursue their studies, but this is often conditional upon the availability of materials, equipment, and supervisors. Often a student is well advised to place the final choice of area in the hands of the Graduate Studies Committee.
Students proposing to enter this course are requested to apply in writing to the associate dean (graduate studies) in the year prior to their proposed commencement of studies. Programs for the MPharm degree normally commence in March of each year.
There will be no financial support available from the college for students commencing the Master of Pharmacy (Preliminary). Full-time students in the second year of the course, however, will be eligible to apply for an Australian Postgraduate Award, a Monash Graduate Scholarship or a research scholarship offered through the college. The first award is restricted to Australian citizens, or candidates with permanent resident status. The awards provide a scholarship of approximately $14,000 gross per annum.
