First up, we moved your thread to a forum that was more suitable (and inhabited by people more able) to answer it. I don't believe there is any degree called "pharmaceuticals", i think you have to elaborate on that.
I know there is a pharmacy/engineering double degree (i think). I find it a bit hard to conceive how you'd use both degrees in a professional capacity. If they need a pharmacist, they'll only be using your pharmacy skills, your engineering wont help much, if they need an engineer, your pharmacy skills probably wont cross over much either. That's just to clear up any misconception that there might be a massive synergy between the two degrees.
If you just want it as a "back up" or for interest purposes, go for it. I'd recommend Monash over RMIT as the Monash pharmacy school is within the top 10 in the world and it is much older than the very new RMIT pharmacy school. I can't comment much on the engineering side of it.
Thank you!
I'm still new here and never really sure where is most appropriate for me to post haha.
Monash has Bachelor degree in Engineering (Honours)/Pharmaceutical Science, and I will choose to specialize in Chemical engineering. And RMIT has a Bachelor degree in Engineering (Chemical Eng)(Hons)/Bachelor of Biomedical Sci (Pharmaceutical Sci)
From my current understanding, pharmaceuticals is the same thing (more or less... Correct me if I'm wrong!) as pharmacology. So doing pharmaceuticals would not qualify me to be a pharmacist, they are two totally separate degrees (for that, I would do the bachelor degree in pharmacy). Pharmaceuticals is a lot about chemistry and taking such knowledge into the lab to produce products, whereas pharmacy just allows you to, well, be a pharmacist haha! So chem eng/pharmaceuticals are able to work together, as Monash puts it: "Chemical engineers can design, run and troubleshoot production facilities, but their training typically excludes the skills to develop pharmaceutical products. Similarly, pharmaceutical science graduates can invent and test new products, but they lack the know-how to manage the product process beyond the laboratory stage. This double degree produces professionals capable of covering the full spectrum of the pharmaceutical product design and development process."
Cool, thank you, I am leaning more so to Monash... Because, as you said, they are in top 10 within the world for their pharmacy/pharmaceutical school! I was just more concerned about whether or not Monash would be most suitable for the chemeng degree, as that is the degree I am most interested in (that being said, I am very excited about pharmaceuticals also.)
OOOOOR would you think a degree in chemeng/business would be better?
