Summary

The Victorian College of Pharmacy began in 1881 when chemist Johann Kruse started to teach pharmacy at the Industrial and Technical Museum in Melbourne. Originally known as the Melbourne College of Pharmacy (the name change was effected in the 1930s), the College was under the auspices of the Pharmaceutical Society of Victori, which recognised the need for pharmaceutical training. For many years the College was funded from student fees. It was not until 1960 that the initial apprenticeship system was replaced with a 3-year degree course. In July 1992 the College merged with Monash University, becoming the Faculty of Pharmacy (and Pharmaceutical Sciences) while retainig its identity as the Victorian College of Pharmacy.
