**Overview**
Develop your clinical skills and study the underpinning science of medicines and health at one of the UK’s leading Pharmacy Schools.
Our five-year MPharm Pharmacy with Placement degree will see you graduate at the end of year five as a fully-qualified Pharmacist, on passing of the degree and the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) pre-registration requirements.
Our Pharmacy degree is designed to help you develop as both a healthcare practitioner and a scientist, with embedded experiential and practical learning throughout to optimise your development. You will get to work with patients, developing your clinical skills to maximise your employability after graduation.
Our innovative teaching methods include problem- and team-based learning and practical assessments. You will also benefit from studying alongside students from the other medical, healthcare and nursing professions, working closely with other disciplines, just as you will in your career.
All the above will prepare you for a role that often commands a competitive salary and has excellent career prospects.
**About This Course**
Our five-year degree has been designed as a modification to our four-year MPharm degree, which has a global reputation for exceptional, innovative teaching, backed by world-class research.
Designed for international students, the first four years of this integrated course closely follow the same structure as our four-year programme. In your final year, however, you will undertake two six-month foundation training placements: one in a hospital pharmacy setting and the other in a community pharmacy setting.
The specific structure of this degree means you retain your student status for the duration of your course, removing the need to seek a separate Tier 2 visa for foundation training after graduation.
During your five years you will focus on clinical skills development and practical experience to develop your professional skills integrated with placements from the very beginning. This means you will benefit from extensive real-world training and start to build a professional portfolio before you have even graduated.
With support from our friendly staff, who are leading researchers and practitioners, you will enhance your knowledge of chemistry and biology, and learn how to apply it to drug design, drug delivery and pharmacology, in order to optimise patient care. Our course covers everything needed to become an outstanding person-centred practitioner, and includes the following topics:
- Communication and consultation skills
- Disease causes, prevention and treatments
- Drug design and discovery
- Medicines optimisation
- Precision medicine
- Prescribing
- Professionalism and ethics
- Reflective practice
As well as exceptional training in the core requirements, you will cover a broad range of subjects integrating healthcare and science, enabling you to identify and specialise in the areas you find most interesting. You will also have opportunities to establish links with organisations where you might hope to secure future employment.
Whatever your focus, your course will reflect the most up-to-date developments in pharmaceutical science and the most recent advances in clinical practice. The course is accredited by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).
This course is intended for international students who wish to become a registered Pharmacist in the UK. If you wish to register as a Pharmacist in your home country, we recommend you make sure this course is acceptable for that purpose in your country. UK and EU students should apply for our four-year MPharm programme (B230).
