If you are interested in health issues and the treatment and prevention of disease, our Pharmacy MPharm (Hons) degree course provides the ideal preparation for a career as a pharmacist. Throughout this course, you’ll study law, ethics and clinical practice, as well as the role of hospitals, communities, GP practices, care homes and industrial pharmacists in managing the supply of medicines.
Working alongside other future healthcare professionals, you'll talk to patients about their conditions and treatments. Through case studies, you'll learn how chemistry, pharmacology and pharmaceutics affect clinical practice. In Year 4, you'll complete a research-based project, for which you'll receive specialist tuition.
The Clinical Pharmacy module also includes placements in hospitals and community pharmacies. This gives you the chance to apply your academic studies to real situations and experience on-the-job training.
This course has recently been updated in line with the General Pharmaceutical Council's standards for initial education and training for pharmacists, which enables pharmacy graduates to prescribe at the point of registration.
