The Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) is the only degree which is acceptable as the first step towards a career as a pharmacist. On completion of your MPharm you will be required to undertake pre-registration training before qualifying as a registered pharmacist. Introduction
Pharmacists are experts in medicines with a deep understanding of the scientific basis of therapy. They are frontline providers of healthcare. Consequently our MPharm gives graduates an integrated and interdisciplinary view of the science of medicines and links this to the practice of the pharmacy profession. Qualification

The MPharm is the only undergraduate programme that we teach, so all our teaching is tailored specifically for this course. It is taught by staff that carry out nationally and internationally recognised research and brings this experience and knowledge into the classroom. We are looking for students who are intellectually curious, willing to study hard, and who will thrive in a personal, friendly environment where the emphasis is on teamwork and academic achievement. Our programme includes contact with patients throughout the course with students taking part in hospital visits, hospital and community pharmacy placements, and in-house patient interviews. In the third year students undertake a research project in an area of pharmacy or pharmaceutical science. This project may be carried out in the School, in another university, hospital or industry either in the UK or worldwide. This opportunity to study abroad during the third year is the School of Pharmacy extramural programme that includes the Erasmus student exchange. Entry requirements
