Master of Pharmacy

Program Overview

Designed specifically to meet the needs of the future pharmacist, this course will equip you with the skills and knowledge required to become a critical member of the healthcare team on the frontline of modern healthcare.

Throughout this 4-year MPharm Pharmacy degree course, you will be taught the science underpinning the use of medicines, including the physiology and anatomy of the human body, the effect of medicines on the human body, and how medicines are designed. Alongside this, you will be trained in clinical communications, problem solving, and decision making to ensure you have the skills to enjoy a rewarding career in pharmacy, and contribute to patient care.

With over five and a half million people in the West Midlands area, and a diverse range of cultures and backgrounds, your opportunities for contact with a wide range of patients and a variety of health conditions are exceptional. You will experience significant clinical placements in all four years of your Pharmacy course in primary care, community pharmacy and hospital pharmacy.

In addition to completing an MPharm Pharmacy degree, to become a UK-registered pharmacist you need to successfully complete a professional pre-registration year in a GPhC-approved practice setting and pass the GPhC's professional competency examination. This pre-registration year, where trainees develop their practice to meet a number of performance standards, takes place in an approved practice setting under the supervision of a tutor and is the final step in becoming a UK-registered practicing pharmacist.
