About the course

Studying an MPharm Degree in Pharmacy at Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy & Biomedical Sciences, you'll be learning at an internationally-renowned academic organisation. We're the only institution to have won the Times Higher Education University of the Year award twice (2012 or 2019). Pharmacists are experts in medicines who work alongside doctors, nurses and dentists as part of healthcare teams. As a pharmacy graduate, you’ll need to understand the science behind drug discovery, development and delivery along with how patients react to the medicines they take. You’ll also have to understand individual patient care and public health issues to deliver the best health and pharmaceutical care. Our pharmacy degree combines science and pharmacy from the start. Our aim is to provide you with the skills and knowledge to be a medicines expert to choose from the full range of pharmacy careers. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
