International accredited pharmacy degree programs

We accredit international programs against the Accreditation Standards for Pharmacy Programs.

See how international universities can seek accreditation of pharmacy programs.

Accredited international degree programs

The Pharmacy Board of Australia (PharmBA) cannot approve APC-accredited international pharmacy programs. This means that graduates cannot directly register with PharmBA.

Accreditation definitions

Accredited with conditions

An international pharmacy degree program that is 'accredited with conditions' either:

• fully meets all but 2 criteria in the pharmacy program accreditation standards, OR
• substantially meets these standards, and is expected to fully meet all but 2 criteria in a reasonable time frame

When 'accredited with conditions', the program must report to us as required. Education providers can still deliver these programs, and students can graduate from them with the listed qualification.

We can only ever accredit international programs with conditions. This is because they cannot meet 2 of the criteria from the pharmacy program accreditation standards.
