Pharmacy with a Foundation Year at Swansea University is designed to prepare you for your role as medicines expert in the modern interdisciplinary healthcare team. Our 5-year MPharm Pharmacy with a Foundation Year programme will get you ready for the changing face of pharmacy and the new and advanced roles pharmacists undertake in healthcare and pharmaceutical settings. We integrate the science of drug design and development, with embedded clinical case-study teaching alongside experiential learning. Our approach is designed to develop your academic, practical and personal qualities so you can practise competently, professionally and with confidence. Throughout your degree you will undertake a variety of placements, in the hospital, community and primary care settings. Our expanding horizons placements will give some students the opportunity to undertake pharmacy experiences in prisons, care homes and enterprise to explore the role of pharmacists in new, innovative and emerging areas of practise. The breadth, variety and quality of our placements will allow you to experience the diverse roles you could undertake as a pharmacist and decide on the direction you would like your future pharmacist career to take. From the moment you enrol at Swansea we will work with you to develop your clinical and professional skills, and alongside learning about the latest scientific advances we will prepare you for the rapidly changing and innovative environment in which modern pharmacists now find themselves. Our "digital thread" brings together the technological advances in pharmaceutical development and medicines management, preparing you for future practice in a world of big data, AI, robotics and video consultations. We take this modern approach whilst ensuring our students still have the underpinning knowledge of the fundamental sciences to cement your role as an expert in drugs and medicines.

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 • Biology and Biochemistry • Anatomy and Physiology • Clinical Pharmacy • Pharmacy Practice These seven broad themes are brought together within large semester-long “Patient-Centred Learning” modules which contain integrated study units focusing on a specific system, disease or patient group.

You will be taught through a combination of lectures, workshops, laboratory classes and this will be supported experiential learning, i.e. placements, and integrated case studies. You will be assessed through a large variety of different methods, including examinations, coursework, laboratory practicals, professional skills assessments, OSCEs and a continuing professional development portfolio. You will only undertake summative assessments after being previously exposed to formative assessments of a similar format.
