Course Information

The 5-year MPharm course is designed specifically to meet the needs of the future pharmacist. With a pre-registration year included, this degree will provide you with the skills needed to become a critical member of the healthcare profession, and allows you to graduate as a fully UK qualified pharmacist pending successful completion of the GPhC (General Pharmaceutical Council) registration exam.

Pharmacists have a unique mix of scientific and professional knowledge which makes them the healthcare experts on medicines. You will learn the science underpinning the use of medicines, including physiology and anatomy of the human body, the effect of medicines on the human body, and how medicines are designed. Alongside this, you will be trained in clinical communications, problem solving, and decision making to ensure you have the skills to enjoy a rewarding career in pharmacy contributing to patient care.

Pre-registration placements are guaranteed for all students on the course and are secured by the University. These will all be based in the West Midlands region.  This study option allows international students to complete their pre-registration training in the UK under a student visa.
