The Victorian College of Pharmacy is now the Parkville campus of Monash University, located in Victoria, Australia. It was founded in 1881 as the School of the Pharmaceutical Society of Victoria. After being housed in various places in Melbourne, it moved to its present location in 1960. After the introduction of the unified national system of higher education in 1988, it was clear that the College had to combine with a university. Negotiations were started with University of Melbourne but these fell through and negotiations were started with Monash University which were successful. The transfer was finalised on 1 July 1992 and the College is now the Faculty of Pharmacy of Monash University. It is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2006.
