The MPharm covers the core themes of biological sciences, chemistry and drug delivery. You'll study professional practice, the brain and psychiatry, the heart and circulatory systems, and the endocrine system.
The foundation year will give you the core skills you need for degree-level study, after which you follow the syllabus of the four-year course. Our practice-focused learning uses simulated exercises and interactive clinical sessions, helping you develop the skills you need for pharmacist roles in hospitals, community and primary care settings.
The MPharm is accredited by the General Pharmaceutical Council, the regulator for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in Great Britain.
