Choosing to study the Master of Pharmacy at the University of Western Australia was easy because I had enjoyed my learning experience at UWA throughout my undergraduate studies.
I decided to pursue Pharmacy because I wanted to combine my passion for healthcare, science and helping people in a career that would allow me to do them all on a daily basis.
The best part about the course is the support the lecturers and staff provide. Because it’s a relatively small cohort, you become quite close to the other students, which also provides a great support system during your studies.
UWA is a great place to study – there is always something to get involved with, no matter what your interests are. I have enjoyed and benefited from being involved with the Master of Pharmacy Society, as well as being a student ambassador representing the university.
