The Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) is a postgraduate degree program that prepares individuals for a career in pharmacy. It is designed to provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in various aspects of pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical sciences, and healthcare. The MPharm course typically spans a period of two to four years, depending on the country and university offering the program. It includes a combination of theoretical coursework, practical training, and research-based projects.
The curriculum of the MPharm program covers a wide range of subjects, including pharmacology, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacotherapy, pharmaceutical analysis, clinical pharmacy, pharmacy practice, drug discovery, drug development, pharmaceutical marketing, and regulatory affairs.
Students will learn about the mechanisms of action, therapeutic uses, and adverse effects of various drugs and medications. They will also gain knowledge in drug formulation, dosage forms, drug delivery systems, and quality control of pharmaceutical products.
Throughout the program, students will have the opportunity to develop their clinical skills through practical training in community pharmacies, hospitals, and other healthcare settings. They will learn about patient counseling, medication management, drug interactions, and pharmaceutical care.
In addition to the coursework, students may also be required to complete a research project or dissertation. This allows them to apply their knowledge and skills to a specific area of pharmacy practice or pharmaceutical sciences and contribute to the advancement of the field.
Upon successful completion of the MPharm program, graduates are eligible to register as pharmacists and pursue a career in various settings, such as community pharmacies, hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry, research and development, academia, regulatory agencies, and healthcare organizations.
Overall, the Master of Pharmacy program provides students with comprehensive training and a solid foundation in pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical sciences, enabling them to make a significant contribution to the healthcare industry.
Ranked No.1 in the UK for Pharmacy and Pharmacology (The Guardian Best UK Universities for Pharmacy and Pharmacology 2021)
Professional Accreditations
The degree is accredited by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) in Great Britain and the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland (PSNI), as the relevant regulators. The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) published new Standards for the initial education and training of pharmacists in 2021. The MPharm course is therefore subject to change to meet the new Standards and prospective students should note that these changes are ongoing. The information presented here for 2023 entry is subject to ongoing changes, including to the admissions criteria (the 2021 standards stipulate that "all admissions and selection processes must include an interactive component, to assess applicants’ values and professional suitability"). The 2021 standards place more emphasis on students demonstrating professional judgment, management of risk, diagnostic and consultation skills, and other attributes associated with being an independent prescriber.
Industry Links
The School's Stakeholder Group of Employers directly informs the development of the course. The School of Pharmacy has also developed close links with a wide variety of industry partners through research and teaching at local, national, and international levels. Students are taught by practicing pharmacists from the community, primary care, and hospital setting and the School’s Careers Liaison Officer ensures that students are aware of all career opportunities and prepared for application and interview processes.
Career Development
A feature of this MPharm is an increasing experience of the clinical environment through the inclusion of clinical placements in both community and hospital settings.
