About Pharmacy
For a career path that truly makes a difference, look no further than Pharmacy.
Is Pharmacy right for me?
On a day-to-day basis, you’ll be supporting your coworkers, interacting with customers and meticulously preparing customers’ orders, all while spending a lot of time on your feet. Some pharmacists also provide vaccinations and conduct routine medical tests.
Pharmacy is an ideal career path for people who value stability, as most pharmacists work standard full-time hours. However, part-time work is becoming more common and some roles may also require you to work nights and weekends in order to provide round-the-clock care to customers, so some flexibility is needed.
Studying Pharmacy can open you up to a variety of different workplaces, with the most common being retail pharmacies. Some other work settings also include hospitals, specialty clinics, long-term care facilities and even government or military organisations.
Pharmacy study options and costs

If you’d like to be more involved in scientific research or development, you could choose to study a Masters or PhD in Pharmacy, Biomedical Sciences or Chemical Sciences after your basic Pharmacy education.
Future outlook
While retail pharmacy jobs will remain stable, there’s expected to be particularly strong demand for pharmacists in hospitals, physicians’ offices, outpatient care centres and long-term care settings. These settings require more pharmacists as they are burdened by greater demand, with pharmacists being needed in order to dispense medicines and oversee routine tasks such as testing blood sugar and cholesterol levels. US statistics point to a 37% growth in outpatient care centre pharmacy jobs, 30% growth in long-term care pharmacy jobs, 12% growth in physicians’ office pharmacy jobs and 4.4% growth in hospital pharmacy jobs.
