<strong>Overview</strong><br/><br/>Our GPhC-accredited MPharm Pharmacy degree equips you with the knowledge, skills, and attributes required of a modern pharmacist. From day one, youll engage with patients and healthcare practitioners through placements and simulations, all within an enjoyable and supportive learning environment designed to maximise your potential. <br/><br/>Our MPharm degree programme boasts a global reputation for exceptional, innovative teaching, underpinned by world-class research. Youll focus on developing clinical skills and gaining practical experience to enhance your professional attributes and competencies. Our friendly staff, who are leading researchers and practitioners, will support you throughout your studies. Additionally, your learning will be integrated with placements from the very beginning of this four-year course. <br/><br/>No matter your focus, the course reflects the latest developments in pharmaceutical science and the most recent advances in clinical practice. This programme is intended for UK and EU students who wish to register as pharmacists in the UK following a 12-month period of foundation training after graduation. If you aim to register as a pharmacist overseas, we recommend checking the courses acceptability in that country. <br/><br/>From the first day, you’ll engage in placements and simulations, working alongside healthcare practitioners and patients to gain practical experience. Placements evolve from early years, where you’ll gain familiarity with different pharmacy environments, to later years, where they contribute to healthcare delivery by undertaking blood pressure screenings, providing vaccinations, reconciling patients medicines, and making care recommendations. In the final years, you’ll undertake quality improvement projects to enhance services delivered by their placement providers. Placements are primarily across the eastern region, with opportunities for wider experiences through national organisations. Placement allocation aims to provide you with diverse experiences. <br/><br/>Our course provides the foundation for a rewarding career in pharmacy. We’re proud of our graduates, whose early career destinations reflect the employability prospects offered by our degree. You may become a professional scientist or pursue careers in hospital pharmacy, the pharmaceutical industry, community pharmacy, primary care, and GP practices. <br/><br/><strong>Disclaimer</strong><br/><br/>Course details are subject to change.
