During your four-year integrated Master’s degree (MPharm) in Pharmacy, you will follow a curriculum designed to reflect the way pharmacists advise patients and how science underpins pharmaceutical care. You will benefit from our experience and expertise in clinical practice, life science, research and training. Together with a strong focus on clinical decision-making and communication skills, you will develop the academic, practical, and personal qualities to practise pharmacy competently and with confidence. Throughout your course, you will have a high level of structured clinical exposure, lecture-and lab-based teaching. You will learn across seven broad themes, all underpinned by professionalism and a 'digital thread' drawing together advances such as AI, robotics and big data: • Pharmaceutics • Pharmaceutical Chemistry • Pharmacology
AREAS STUDIED TYPICALLY INCLUDE: Year 1 • Drugs and medicines • Health, disease and patients • Pharmacy practice Year 2 • Integrated study units: body systems, diseases and patients Year 3 APPLYING FOR PHARMACY Suitable eligible applicants will be invited to attend a multiple mini- interview. You will spend a few minutes at a variety of different “stations” that will focus on areas of competency which we feel make a good pharmacist, e.g. ethics, communication, professionalism.
