About the course

Modern healthcare is delivered by a multidisciplinary team and increasingly pharmacists are delivering enhanced and new clinical services across healthcare settings. Our Pharmacy degree recognises these new and advanced roles and integrates science and practice to prepare students to meet the challenges of the changing face of pharmacy. Following successful completion, achieving an overall average of 60%, in of the Foundation Year with at least 60% in the Preparatory (Foundation) in Pharmacy and Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry modules, you will progress to Year 1 and follow a curriculum designed to reflect the way pharmacists approach patients and how patients present to pharmacists.

　　Pharmacy at Swansea builds on the strengths of the Medical School by adopting an interdisciplinary approach. We recognise that pharmacists, doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals work together in a clinical setting so education and training should reflect this. You will benefit from our experience and expertise in clinical and life sciences, research, training and practice, helping you to develop your pharmaceutical practice, science and knowledge.

　　It is these strengths and the recognition of the need for scientific rigour and understanding, coupled with a strong focus on patient care and outcomes that allow the Medical School to develop high-quality healthcare professionals to meet the needs of the NHS and patients alike.

　　98% of pharmacy graduates are working or in further study 6 months after graduation. Starting salaries for pharmacists vary depending on the area of pharmacy in which you choose to work and your location. The starting salary for newly-qualified Pharmacists employed by the NHS is over £35,000 and this can rise to £43,000-£60,000 after 10 years. The starting salaries for newly-qualified Pharmacists in community pharmacy can be as high as £50,000. As a Pharmacist you will find a variety of healthcare roles available as a valued member of the clinical team, ranging from hospital pharmacy and community pharmacy to primary care, the pharmaceutical industry and academia.
