MSc Fortgeschrittene Klinische Pharmaziepraxis

MSc in Advanced Clinical Pharmacy Practice is a postgraduate distance learning program that allows you to fit your studies around your work and family commitments.

Our Advanced Clinical Pharmacy Practice program was developed following extensive consultation with pharmacists and their employers both within and beyond the United Kingdom. It provides a flexible study pathway that is designed to develop the therapeutic knowledge and clinical skills of pharmacists to an advanced level. The modules are designed to help pharmacists to acquire and demonstrate the advanced-level competencies defined in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's Core Advanced Pharmacist Curriculum.

The MSc is open to pharmacists in all employment sectors although students must be able to undertake a project in either the primary or secondary healthcare sector in their final year.

The MSc can be completed entirely off-campus by distance learning and is therefore open to pharmacists both within and outside the United Kingdom.

Students in Great Britain may select the Independent Prescribing option in year 2, which includes compulsory 5-day clinical skills residential at Queen's.
