Pharmacy with Preparatory Year at University of Brighton - UCAS

Course summary

With an extra year of integrated study at foundation level, this course opens up opportunities in the sciences if you don't hold the required scientific A-levels or equivalent qualifications, want to change career or simply want to explore the options offered by university-level science before deciding on your specific pathway. The preparatory year gives you the support, knowledge and skills you need. On successful completion of the foundation year, you can progress directly onto the Pharmacy MPharm. Our MPharm programme is taught through a series of case studies that apply what you learn to real life scenarios by bringing together the science of pharmacy with the needs of the patient. Placements in either community or hospital settings in each year of the course prepare you for work as a patient-focussed professional. You’ll benefit from inter-professional learning opportunities through close links with Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) and learning informed by research and clinical practice.
