Pharmacy is a rewarding career, especially for those who enjoy helping other people maintain their health and wellness. A Pharmacy MPharm degree can kickstart your educational journey to becoming a pharmacist. Throughout your studies you’ll gain a solid understanding of chemistry and other organic sciences, medicines and drug development, medical pharmacology, and human physiology and pathology. Your classroom knowledge will also be supplemented with practical pharmaceutical experience.
As a graduate of this advanced course, you'll be well prepared to enter foundation year training, leading to registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), which will aid you in your journey to becoming a qualified pharmacist in the UK.
Additionally, this course prepares you for other pharmacy-related careers in drug discovery, clinical trials, research and teaching, and medical sales and marketing.
Why study Pharmacy MPharm
Accredited by the GPhC, this course aims to give you a strong foundational knowledge of the pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy practice. Your studies will take place in our purpose-built formulation laboratory and pharmacy practice suite, where you can put theory to practice and build up your practical pharmacy skills. You’ll have the chance to hone and develop your research skills in the third year of the course. By your final year, you’ll take modules to help prepare you to make the transition into becoming a registered pharmacist following your foundation year training.
You’ll be taught by subject experts and practising pharmacists. The University’s excellent local links with the health service mean you will be up to date on the latest pharmacy developments, and you’ll also be able to work with many other members of the multi-disciplinary healthcare team.
Mandatory work placements throughout the course will also enhance your pharmacy education, provide relevant real-world experience, and build your confidence as a budding pharmacist. Placements are offered in a range of different healthcare settings off campus, including community, general practice, and hospital roles.
