its broad i know, but i want to look into doing these sorts of things in a science course, things like drug discovery and development, and then maybe even honours.
but which university in victoria is the best for this?
i dont mean in terms of job prospects necessarily but the uni that teaches the content in the best way
i know its really broad and maybe its the same thing across all unis? but any advice be it anecdotal or based on numbers is much appreciated :)

You can do all of that in a BSci at UoM but if you wanted to major in both (officially) you would have to go somewhere that allows double majors.

In terms of teaching the content the best way...I think what I have learnt in Chemistry and Anatomy at UoM has been great and I have liked the way everything was taught and think it was well organised and at a very high standard.  However, I haven't experienced other universities and so can't comment on how well they would teach.  So I guess I recommend UoM but not 'over' other universities necessarily, especially if you want to do a double major because that can't be done in our BSc - you would have to choose one (eg Pharmacology) and then just take electives from the other (eg second and third year Anatomy).

In terms of Honours, UoM is right in the middle of a massive and respected research hub in Parkville so it's a pretty good place to be when it comes to fourth year.

I'm sure kingpomba will have some things to say about Monash if you are considering that, considering he has studied both pharmacology and developmental stuff there.

Monash has one of the best pharm deps in the world and the best in Australia (http://www.monash.edu.au/news/show/monash-leads-the-country-for-pharmacy-and-pharmacology) if that matters to you.

From my own limited experience in pharm lectures and so forth, the lecturers have all been amazing. So I'd definitely recommend Monash for pharmacology.

Cheers.
