    A new degree launched in New Zealand has been born out of the Covid pandemic

    A new degree launched in New Zealand has been born out of the Covid pandemic


    Otago University will offer a Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science from next year.

    School of Pharmacy Associate Professor, Arlene McDowell, says Covid's had a significant impact in getting the degree of the ground.

    She says the pandemic is a tragedy - but it's highlighted being able to have people trained to create medicines quickly is an advantage.

    She's hoping other universities will follow suit.
