Course summary

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 upon successful registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). Throughout each year, right from the start of the course, you will find yourself experiencing real-life or simulated clinical and patient situations. This practical element is supported by your fundamental pharmaceutical and medical science studies, taught by our research-active academic and professional staff and is the ideal balance of hands-on learning and in-depth study. You will experience significant clinical placements in all four years of your Pharmacy course in primary care, community pharmacy and hospital pharmacy. These carefully designed applied activities and learning tasks will provide you with the confidence to move into your professional life upon graduating.
