Pharmacy graduates
July 19, 2013
ALMOST 98% of bachelor
graduates in pharmacy who are
available for full-time work have
jobs, according to the latest report
from Graduate Careers Australia.
The survey of recent graduates
also revealed that the median
salary for bachelor pharmacists was
$36,000, and that almost two thirds
of pharmacy graduates are female.
Interestingly, the median
starting salary for pharmacists was
significantly lower than the $50,000
reported by graduates across all
fields of education.
Graduate Careers Australia’s
annual Graduate Survey is a
national census of newly qualified
higher education graduates and is
conducted about four months after
graduation.
Overall 86% of bachelor graduates
in the field of pharmacy were
available for full-time work after
graduation, with another 8% in fulltime
study, 3.7% working part time
or casually, and 2% unavailable for
full-time study or work.
The median age for Pharmacy
graduates was 22 years.
