About the course

This course is an ideal first step towards a pharmaceutical career. It examines the science behind the preparation, supply and monitoring of medicines. You'll study law, ethics and clinical practice, the role of hospitals, community, GP practice, care home and industrial pharmacists.

　　Working alongside other future healthcare professionals, you'll talk to patients about their conditions and treatment. Through case studies, you'll learn how chemistry, pharmacology and pharmaceutics affect clinical practice. In Year 4, you'll complete a research-based project, for which you'll receive specialist tuition.

　　This course is currently being updated in line with the General Pharmaceutical Council's standards for initial education and training for pharmacists, which will enable pharmacy graduates to prescribe at the point of registration. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
