Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying pharmacy

Pharmacy degrees cover medicines, how the body responds to them, and dispensing practice. Registering as a pharmacist takes an accredited degree and then an internship year. Pharmaceutical science is a different qualification.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Getting into pharmacy courses

Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite, and chemistry is commonly required or recommended. Registering as a pharmacist takes an accredited degree followed by a supervised internship year and a registration exam, so check what each course leads to.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2024, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?

Do students stay and finish?

Source: Dept of Education, 2024

Of students who started at Sydney in 2016, nine years later:

Finished a degree
81%
Still studying
3.2%
Left after returning
12.9%
Never came back after first year
2.9%

More recently: of new Sydney bachelor students in 2023, 3.6% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.

Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching. What completion rates tell you

What it costs, next to what graduates earn

Total student contribution:6 years × $9,880/year ≈ $59,300Estimate

The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – Sydney did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront. How HECS-HELP works
