Our graduates: Preventing missed doses • Victorian Public Healthcare Awards • Our researchers: Saving lives at birth • One woman bleeds to death every three minutes in a developing countries • Engineer an oxytocin powder • Our students: Mathew Peck Traveling scholarship • Alex Bongers travelled to Toulva • Researched and implemented treatment programs for non communicable diseases including type 2 diabetes

  4. One degree can make a world of difference …to your life

  5. Core knowledge and hands on experience • Vocational skill development • Professional Experience Placements • Research Project • Industry Placement • Pharmaceutical science students: High Performance Liquid Chromatography facility • Pharmacy: Virtual Practice Environments and MyDispense

  6. Get more than a degree • Choose an elective in research or leadership • Complete a summer research scholarship • Undertake a professional experience placement overseas, • Join faculty’s student leadership program, • Run a club • Mentor a new student

  7. To make a difference start here.

  8. We might be one of the oldest pharmacy schools in Australia, but we are also the most innovative and globally recognised. • World-class partnerships • Servier and GSK • Leading the profession • NAPE, CMUS • Game changing education • GlaxoSmithKline and Pharmatopia • Fantastic facilities – great location

  9. New entry requirements

  10. Supplementary Information Form • This will replace the UMAT for entry into Pharmacy and Pharmacy/Commerce • The form is available to download at www.pharm.monash.edu.au/courses/pharmacy/sup-information-form or can be completed online at www.adm.monash.edu/admissions/vtac • All VTAC applicants (international and domestic) must complete • Applicants must still list pharmacy on their VTAC preference list

  11. How will the form be used? • Model answers will be used to give applicants a rating for their form • Rating will be used to re-rank applicants who are middle-band or borderline cases. • All re-ranked applicants will still need to meet the published minimum prerequisite study scores. • The Supplementary Information Form is not to be used for the purpose of special consideration.

  12. What will the form ask?

  13. Changes to prerequisite requirements • Pharmacy, pharmacy/commerce and pharmaceutical sciences have all had their prerequisite subject scores lowered • VCE: 30 in English (ESL) or 25 in any other English, and 25 in chemistry, and 25 in mathematical methods (CAS) or specialist mathematics. • IB: 4 in English SL or 3 in English HL or 5 in English B SL or 4 in English B HL, and 4 in chemistry SL or 3 in chemistry HL, and 4 in mathematics SL or 3 in mathematics HL. • Assessment last year showed students with lower scores still had high enough ATARS to be competitive for these courses. • We don’t expect this will affect the clearly-in ATAR score in 2013

  14. Pharmaceutical Science Better medicines by design
