WHY MANCHESTER? • Distinguished history: the first UK university to award degrees in Pharmacy • Ranked fifth Pharmacy/Pharmacology department in the world (QS World University Rankings 2014)
Manchester has a long history of training successful graduates to enter all branches of the pharmaceutical profession. We offer you a unique opportunity to learn from real-life hospital pharmacists in pharmacy departments and on wards in three local NHS Trusts, giving you extensive clinical experience, alongside accompanying placements in community and industrial settings.
WHAT YOU STUDY Pharmacists are highly trained medical professionals, qualified to give advice on health issues and medicines, and ensure the safe supply and use of medicines by the public. Qualifying as a pharmacist takes at least five years, in which you must successfully complete: • a General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) accredited Master of Pharmacy degree (full-time, four-year course); • pre-registration training (one year); • the GPhC's registration exam.
You’ll study four main themes: the medicine, the patient, the pharmacist and the public. Most course units are compulsory, but you may select units in your final year to suit your career aspirations. In Years 2, 3 and 4 you have regular half-day visits to local hospitals, where clinical sessions are held. In Year 4, you take the core subjects and select from medicine’s options, as well as selecting a research project.
