About the course

A pharmacist is a healthcare team member specifically concerned with drugs and medicines. Pharmacy at UCC provides the confidence, skills, and knowledge to make a difference in the pharmaceutical arena.The four main areas of study in this five-year course are pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry, formulation design, drug action in the body and the practice of pharmacy. The course incorporates both basic sciences learning and the practice of pharmacy, as well as a number of unpaid/paid placements.The School of Pharmacy at UCC has state-of-the-art facilities designed to teach pharmacy to a world-class standard. These include laboratories, teaching and tutorial rooms, and a model pharmacy. Innovative technology is used in over-the-counter (OTC) ?responding to symptoms? tutorials. This technology uses interactive patient scenarios across many types of diseases.

　　Once you have successfully completed your first four years (BPharm) you will then progress to the fifth year (MPharm). This facilitates the Irish professional pharmacy regulator, the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI), which requires graduates to hold a Master's degree before entering the PSI Register and practicing as a Pharmacist. Our pharmacy degree is designed to integrate both the subjects you will study and the placements you will undertake so that you can really understand and apply your knowledge of science and healthcare to drug treatments for patients.
