Pharmaceutical Sciences
Turnover in the Australian pharmaceutical industry has more than tripled over the past 10 years. It is a rapidly expanding area and requires an increasing number of graduates to work in areas such as drug design and development, human clinical trials and drug regulations.
The Discipline of Pharmaceutical Sciences focuses on a variety of aspects of the pharmaceutical industry, including research and development of drugs, toxicity testing of drugs for safety purposes, clinical (human) trials of drugs and pharmaceutical products, drug regulations and associated ethics related to the approval of drugs for public use, as well as sales and marketing of drugs and pharmaceutical products.
