Course summary

The MPharm degree is designed to enable students become experts in medicines and ensure their safe and effective use. Students will gain the necessary skills to allow them to be capable of working in multi-professional teams across a variety of healthcare settings to enhance patient outcomes and person-centred care.The degree is accredited by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) in Great Britain and the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland (Pharmaceutical Society NI) and we are required to meet the ‘Standards for the initial education and training of pharmacists (2021)’ that relate to the MPharm degree. The accreditation process for these 2021 Standards is occurring in two parts. Part one is during 2022-23 and Part 2 is during 2024-25. Therefore, the MPharm degree programme is subject to change to meet the 2021 Standards, and prospective students should note that these changes are ongoing.The 2021 Standards place more emphasis on students demonstrating professional judgement, management of risk, diagnostic and consultation skills, and other attributes associated with being an independent prescriber. There is also a greater focus on experiential learning and equality diversity and inclusion.https://www.pharmacyregulation.org/education/approved-providers-education-and-training/accredited-mpharm-degrees#BelfastIndustry LinksThe School of Pharmacy engages with stakeholders and has developed close links with a wide variety of industry partners through research and teaching at a local, national and international level.
