Nurses provide valued services to their communities in the provision of health care and the promotion of health and well-being.
The Monash University Bachelor of Pharmacy produces graduates with comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the applied pharmaceutical sciences, clinical science and pharmacy practice, and the professional skills and generic attributes which underpin the profession of pharmacy.
This degree provides a broad educational foundation for general nursing practice and pathways to future professional employment. It enables students to develop a diverse range of skills in communication, research, clinical reasoning and judgement. Students also gain clinical experience in a wide variety of health agencies throughout Victoria, Australia and overseas. Entry requirements The selection into the Bachelor of Nursing is based on: • MUFY score (minimum of 290 out of 400) • Achieving a minimum average of 70 per cent in English and successful completion of any MUFY mathematics • An application process.
Ninety-eight per cent of pharmacy graduates are placed in jobs within four months of graduating.

The course is located at Monash University’s Parkville campus 3 km north of Melbourne’s city centre. The campus has first class teaching facilities and research laboratories arising from a $45 million redevelopment over the past two years. Entry requirements The selection into the Bachelor of Pharmacy is based on: • MUFY score (minimum of 340 out of 400) • Achieving a minimum average of 70 per cent in English, 80 per cent in Chemistry, and 80 per cent in either Mathematics or Advanced Mathematics. It is recommended that students also study Physics and Biology but it is not a prerequisite.

The test is independently produced by the Australian Council for Education Research (ACER) and is administered through Prometric Inc. centres around the world. Visit www.isat.acer.edu.au for locations and test dates.
Calculation of Foundation Year scores MUFY scores are calculated out of a maximum of 400. The score is calculated by adding the results obtained from the top eight passed units and dividing that total by two. If a student has passed an additional two subjects, 10 per cent of the combined mark of the additional units is added as bonus points. Visit www.mufy.monash.edu/ entryscore for details.
