Our innovative four-year MPharm programme, designed in partnership with pharmacy experts, prepares you for the evolving role of the modern pharmacist – one who isn’t only a medicine expert but also a key player in multidisciplinary healthcare teams. Blending cutting-edge science with hands-on clinical training, this degree offers an integrated learning experience that takes you from the fundamentals of drug discovery and design through to delivering safe, effective, patient-centred care. <br/><br/>At Liverpool, you’ll benefit from teaching that’s grounded in real-world practice and powered by world-leading research. Our academic team includes practising pharmacists, clinical scientists, education experts and internationally recognised researchers in areas such as pharmacogenomics, antimicrobial resistance, chemistry, and precision medicine ensuring that your education is both scientifically rigorous and directly relevant to today’s healthcare challenges. <br/><br/>What sets our MPharm apart is its emphasis on integrated learning, practical experience and professional development. You’ll build your skills through placements across our extensive network of NHS trusts, community pharmacies, and through our links with the pharmaceutical industry, gaining exposure to diverse working environments, specialisms, and patient populations. You’ll also benefit from Liverpool being one of the few UK universities to offer clinical programmes across the full spectrum of healthcare, medicine and biosciences, with a multi-disciplinary, integrated learning approach to mirror the real-world experience. <br/><br/>Students will learn in our state-of-the-art Pharmacy, Lifesciences, and Sherrington Buildings, with access to advanced laboratories, a pharmacy suite and collaborative learning spaces that mirror real clinical and industrial settings. <br/><br/>An MPharm from Liverpool opens doors to diverse and rewarding careers in healthcare, research, industry, and beyond. <br/><br/>The University of Liverpool is working towards accreditation of this programme with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). The programme will be provisionally accredited until the accreditation process is complete.
