Pharmacy

About this programme

Our Pharmacy MPharm is a fully-accredited four-year pharmacy degree, based in the heart of London, that combines the study of pharmaceutical science with the practice of pharmacy. As experts in medicines, pharmacists are taking on increasingly important roles in modern healthcare teams, as well as enjoying exciting career options in diverse health settings, from hospitals and community pharmacy to working in GP practices, care homes and the pharmaceutical industry. Our course will allow you to join this profession as the Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) is the only UK qualification that leads to professional registration as a pharmacist. New standards for the initial education and training of pharmacists were introduced by the General Pharmaceutical Council in 2021, which will enable all pharmacist to prescribe at the point of registration. All MPharm programmes in the UK, including ours, are being modified and reviewed against these new standards. We have designed our MPharm degree to provide an integrated course that combines pharmaceutical science with the practice of pharmacy. It will train you to deal effectively with change and the increasing complexities of the pharmacist's role. Our course adheres directly to the requirements and guidance of the professional regulatory body, the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). We teach the therapeutic use of medicines (professional practice) throughout the four years, and you will spend increasing amount of time on placements to consolidate this learning.
