About this course
**Overview**
Our Pharmacy with a Preparatory Year degree programme is accredited by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). It's a five-year course that prepares students for university-level study in pharmacy. The course is specifically designed for those who do not have the required qualifications for direct entry onto the four-year MPharm course.
Our MPharm degree programme has a global reputation for exceptional, innovative teaching, backed by world-class research. You’ll focus on clinical skills development and practical experience to develop your professional attributes and competencies. You'll benefit from the support of our friendly staff, who are leading researchers and practitioners. Furthermore, your learning will be integrated with placements from the very beginning of this four-year course.
Whatever your focus, your course will reflect the most up-to-date developments in pharmaceutical science and the most recent advances in clinical practice. This course is intended for UK students who wish to later register as a Pharmacist in the UK following a 12-month period of foundation training undertaken after graduation. If you wish to register as a pharmacist overseas, we recommend you check this course is acceptable for this purpose in that country.
The programme aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and attributes required to become modern pharmacists. From the first day of the course, students will engage in placements and simulations, working alongside healthcare practitioners and patients to gain practical experience. The learning environment is supportive and enjoyable, with a focus on maximizing students' potential.
The course is designed to provide students with the necessary foundation to pursue a rewarding career in pharmacy. We’re proud of our graduates, and their early career destinations are a testament to the employability prospects provided by our degree. You may become a professional scientist or pursue careers in hospital pharmacy, pharmaceutical industry, community pharmacy, primary care and GP practices.
