Why this 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 (2012/2019).
Pharmacists are experts in medicines who work alongside doctors, nurses and dentists as part of healthcare teams.
As a pharmacy graduate, youll need to understand the science behind drug discovery, development and delivery along with how patients react to the medicines they take. Youll also have to understand individual patient care and public health issues to deliver the best health and pharmaceutical care.
Assessment
Methods of assessment vary according to the subject and skills being taught and include formal written exams, multiple-choice questionnaires, oral presentations, dissertations, project reports and practical tests.
Careers
To become a pharmacist in the UK, you need an MPharm degree which has been accredited by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), followed by a pre-registration year (after graduation) in a hospital or community practice. At the end of this, you must pass the GPhC registration assessment.
However, please note that obtaining an MPharm from the University of Strathclyde does not guarantee a pre-registration position.
Once registered with the GPhC, pharmacy graduates enjoy good employment prospects with attractive starting salaries. The majority are employed in either community or hospital pharmacies.
