Where could this programme take you?

In New Zealand, the pathway to becoming a pharmacist includes successful completion of a Bachelor of Pharmacy or Bachelor of Pharmacy (Hons) degree, and a one-year paid internship in an accepted pharmacy setting outside the university. Pharmacy as a profession continues to evolve, and pharmacists now use their patient-centred skills to provide immunisations, health checks and monitoring. Pharmacists deliver enhanced medicines’ services in collaboration with other members of healthcare teams. Pharmacists also work in a range of health-based industries related to the manufacture, prescription and provision of medicines, as well as related industries, such as medical publishing or pharmaceutical marketing.
