Single unit enrolments

Enrolling in single units is an alternative to studying an entire postgraduate course. Health professionals wishing to improve and deepen particular skills in their current profession can study units in the areas of Clinical Pharmacy, Pharmacy Practice and Wound Care.

Notes:

Single unit enrolments do not count towards a Monash University degree program. Therefore, no award is received at the completion of study. Students can obtain, however, a statement of their results through student services.
Permission to attempt single unit study is granted for specific units, and for one semester only. No guarantee of subsequent enrolment can be made.
Single unit enrolments are available on a fee-paying basis only.
Credit for single unit study may be granted towards subsequent enrolment in an award course.
