Our highly-regarded MPharm course ensures you develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and professional attributes to practice as a pharmacist. The course lasts four years, and you’ll graduate with a Master of Pharmacy degree. The MPharm is the only undergraduate qualification in the UK that leads to professional registration as a pharmacist with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). All newly qualified pharmacists will now be independent prescribers at the point of registration.
There is a huge demand for pharmacist-independent prescribers, with opportunities within primary care, secondary care, and specialist sectors. We provide placements across all these settings to supplement our on-site teaching and simulation activities and give you experience of the range of career opportunities available to you.
Our course teaching integrates the fundamental pharmaceutical, chemical, and biological sciences with clinical therapeutics and patient-focused clinical skills. We have state-of-the-art facilities to enable the simulation of healthcare settings, where we teach alongside patients and their carers and other healthcare students during interprofessional learning sessions.
