The MPharm is the only qualification that allows professional registration as a pharmacist. It is accredited by the pharmacy regulator, the General Pharmaceutical Council, and has been designed to reflect the changing roles of pharmacists. You’ll focus on the different physiological systems of the body, such as the cardiovascular system, and you will learn how the chemistry, biology, pharmacology, pharmaceutics and pharmacy practice are interrelated. This will enable you to apply information to ensure that person-centred care is delivered right from the first year.

Learn how medicines affect the body, and how these medicines are designed to optimise their effectiveness. Acquire the information and practices essential for working in pharmacy, including the law and ethics of pharmacy, health psychology and communication skills, processes for assessing prescriptions and reducing errors, and professional behaviour. In your final year, you will have the opportunity to work alongside internationally renowned researchers.

In order to become a fully qualified pharmacist, you will need to complete a year of pre-registration training following graduation. During this time you will complete a portfolio of evidence of competence and take a further assessment, which is run by the pharmacy regulator, the General Pharmaceutical Council. During this year we will provide you with further support, including study documents and mock examinations.
