Pharmacy MPharm (Foundation) MPharm (Hons)

Pharmacy is an evolving science-based healthcare profession focusing on the treatment and prevention of disease and ensuring public wellbeing. The course offers training on the provision of patient-centred care in multiple care settings with focus on medicine optimization, medicine safety and public health. This course is unique as it is co-taught with St George's, University of London, and provides a spiraling clinical programme with structured placements and inter-professional learning activities. Coursework is designed to be achieved within the set amount of learning hours for each module and is appropriate to the level of study. We encourage a professional work ethic, which includes how to manage your time. A range of additional support is available to students who require it via the Academic Support Centre and personal tutors. Our courses are carefully constructed to allow you to build knowledge and skills progressively during your degree programme. We constantly update our curriculum to ensure that it covers the latest developments in your subject area, including the research and professional experience that your tutors bring to the course.

Our course teams also draw on the wealth of experience provided by our professional contacts and highly successful alumni who feed into the design of our courses and provide master classes and workshops to enrich your learning. The Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing has a specialist employability team. It provides friendly and high-quality careers and recruitment guidance, including advice and sessions on job-seeking skills such as CV preparation, application forms and interview techniques. Specific advice is also available for international students about the UK job market and employers' expectations and requirements. The team runs employer events throughout the year, including job fairs, key speakers from industry and interviews on campus. These events give you the opportunity to hear from, and network with, employers in an informal setting. For example, here students are practicing their interview skills with employers at a 'speed interviewing' event on campus.
