Graduate entry to Pharmacy
Eligibility requirements

To be considered for admission into the MPharm, an applicant must:

  • have a bachelor's degree, or an equivalent qualification, as recognised by UWA. Recognised bachelor's degrees are those conferred by Australian universities or higher education institutions recognised by the Australian Qualifications Framework or the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR). While academic results from postgraduate study will be taken into account, postgraduate studies undertaken without a bachelor's degree cannot be accepted as an equivalent qualification
  • have the equivalent of a selection Weighted Average Mark (sWAM) of at least 65, and
  • meet the prerequisites in chemistry, mathematics, microbiology and pharmacology

Applicants who can meet the prerequisites are initially ranked according to sWAM.

Candidates will be ranked by sWAM, with the highest-ranking applicants being offered a place. Rural applicants will be ranked based on sWAM, and rurality rating (equally weighted).

Read through all sections for a detailed understanding of the requirements. The Future Students team is happy to assist with any further queries.

Application timelines and due dates

Course offers

  • Offers are planned to commence during November. Timing of subsequent round offers will depend on the outcome of previous rounds
  • An offer cannot automatically be deferred; in exceptional circumstances, a deferral request may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Applicants should consider their personal circumstances and apply during an admissions period where they are prepared to commence should they receive an offer.
Final ranking for course offers
  • Final ranking for non-rural domestic and international candidates will be based on sWAM.
  • Final ranking for rural candidates will be based on sWAM, and rurality rating.
Degree completion - conditional offers

Applicants who are eligible for a course offer during the final year of their initial bachelor's degree will be made a conditional offer requiring them to:

  • attain a minimum selection WAM of 65 for semester two of the final year of their degree; and
  • complete their bachelor's degree requirements by 31 December prior to commencement.

Applicants who are in progress of their initial bachelor's degree and undertake a course of action that will result in receiving late results may not meet offer conditions. Therefore applicants must take care when undertaking any course of action which could delay the receipt of results or degree completion. This may include undertaking deferred/supplementary exams, undertaking units that fall outside normal semesters (e.g. summer units or trimester units) or going on exchange during the final year of study. Applicants who do not complete all requirements for their initial bachelor's degree by the 31 December deadline will have their offer withdrawn.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENT
Selection WAM Calculation
The selection Weighted Average Mark (sWAM) forms part of the eligibility and selection criteria for entry into this course. The UWA Admissions team will calculate the sWAM. Applicants must meet the specified minimum sWAM to be considered for a place in this course.
View full details
ADMISSION REQUIREMENT
Selection WAM Calculation
WAM refers to Weighted Average Mark and is a numerical value out of 100 that is calculated from marks received in each completed unit.

For Allied Health courses with a competitive entry process the selection WAM (sWAM) will be calculated from all degree qualifications completed or due to be completed by 31 December the year prior to course commencement.

Results from any degree which will be incomplete as at 31 December of the application year will not be included in the sWAM calculation. The exception is where such studies have been applied as credit or advanced standing to a later degree which is due for completion by 31 December of the application year.

The sWAM will be determined for each included qualification and then weighted by overall duration. All marks received within or credited to a completed degree will be included, including Fail results.

All studies up to the application deadline will be included. Where an applicant qualifies for a course offer with a sWAM calculation which includes a degree due for completion by 31 December of the application year there will be a condition to meet the minimum sWAM of 65 in the final semester of study.

The sWAM will be rounded to two decimal places.

PhD holders will be automatically awarded a selection WAM of 85. This is regardless of other completed degree studies.

Student story
Basundhara Dutta

I got involved with uni life from the day I started university. I joined as many clubs as I could during orientation week. I started uni with a mindset that I wanted to do more than just study from 9-5 and contribute to our campus life and the wider community. In my final year, I was the Guild's Environment Officer and the President for UWA French Club. As the Environment Officer, I ran events and initiatives to promote sustainability on campus - from running EnviroFest to make your own keepcup events. My time at UWA was amazing as I had the opportunity to give back to students through something that I love.

My passion is to mainstream sustainable practices and technologies into our everyday lives to avoid creating a future defined by climate chaos.

Executive Director and Founder, Plastic Free July Foundation

My journey since studying at UWA certainly didn't evolve as I had planned. Due to a death in my immediate family, plans for overseas work and further study were put on hold. I've worked in government and as a consultant on projects ranging from catchment mapping to community consultation to underwater surveys of abalone populations.

An interest in sustainable living led to working as a waste educator in Perth's western suburbs and starting Plastic Free July. I have since had the opportunity to explore the plastic pollution problem and participate in research expeditions in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans. Though I've never worked as a scientist, the ability to evaluate information and read research papers has been critical to developing my understanding of the plastic pollution issue and ability to develop big picture solutions.
