This includes clinical topics, public health, health economics, medicines management, education, leadership and research topics. Eligible pharmacists can also opt for independent prescribing. If you want to undertake research, you will be supported by one of our leading academic researchers to undertake a small-scale clinical research project to complete the MSc award. This is a completely online route and allows you to study from home at times convenient to you, which is ideal for international students, shift workers and those based outside the Manchester area. Interactive online learning is supplemented by webinars to enhance your skills in optimising drug therapy and clinical problem-solving.
