*This exciting MPharm Pharmacy with Preparatory Year prepares students for a successful pathway through the four years of an MPharm programme after a successful Preparatory Year at level 3, building up knowledge and skills in science and health-related topics. <br/>*<br/><br/>Bangor’s five-year undergraduate MPharm Pharmacy with Preparatory Year programme equips a suitable graduate to become a pharmacist and independent prescriber, subject to the successful completion of a subsequent one-year Foundation Training programme (previous known as pre-registration training) and passing a GPhC Registration Assessment. In addition, graduates from this programme will also be eligible to join the register with the accrediting body as an Independent Prescriber (IP). Whilst the majority of graduates choose a career as a practising pharmacist, other roles and jobs are available given the scientific nature of the programme.<br/><br/>Please note: This programme is currently being prepared for internal validation and so is currently subject to successful validation along with continued GPhC accreditation. Bangor University is working towards accreditation of this programme with the GPhC. The programme will be provisionally accredited until the accreditation process is complete.
