This course is structured to integrate topics of pharmacy practice, life sciences and pharmaceutical sciences, and provides a solid basis for a career in community, hospital or industry. You will look at the issues surrounding drug development and formulation, how medicines interact with the body, and the complex ethical issues and law governing the dispensing and supply of medicines to patients.

Inter-professional learning is an important feature of this course. Within the early stages of the degree, you will learn alongside colleagues from other healthcare disciplines including medicine, nursing and radiography.

The academic year is divided into two, fifteen-week semesters. Students are exposed to a range of assessments and encouraged to be responsible for their own learning.

MPharm students, upon graduation, must undertake a further year of practice-based study prior to registration as a pharmacist with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.
