BPharms have prospects!
July 7, 2011
PHARMACY graduates have the
highest rate of employment for
people being granted Bachelors
degrees in any profession
across the nation, according to
a report released by Graduate
Careers Australia this week.
Based on the activities of new
higher education graduates in
2010 (those that completed
their course requirements in
2009), the report looked into
rates of employment (including
full and part-time), as well as
whether graduands were
seeking work or whether they
were unable for work or study,
four months after their course
completion.
Overall 86.2% of pharmacy
graduates reported that they
were available for full time
work (not studying or unable to
work for other reasons) - of
whom a huge 97.7% had found
full-time employment.
Of the small proportion
looking for work 0.7% were
looking for full time jobs, and
1.6% were seeking full time
employment whilst working
part time or casually.
Breaking down the 13.8% of
pharmacy graduates not
available for full time work, 8%
were in further full time study,
3.7% were in part-time or
casual work and did not want
full time employment, whilst
2% were unavailable for either
full time work or study.
Looking at other health
professions in the study, 92% of
nursing graduates were
available for work, of which just
73.3% were employed full time.
97.3% of medicine graduates
were available for work, of
which 85.8% had gained full
time employment.
