The MPharm course at the University of Sunderland offers excellent hands-on learning opportunities, including access to modern laboratories and real-world pharmacy settings. The lecturers are knowledgeable and approachable, providing valuable guidance and support. The course content is well-structured, covering all key areas of pharmacy, and the university’s strong links with the NHS and other healthcare providers help students gain practical experience through placements The course can feel very intense at times, with heavy workloads Additionally, a few students feel that more focus could be given to emerging areas in pharmacy, such as digital health and personalized medicine.

I think the types of courses that are run at the University are really good and the facilities are first class and there is a lot of student pastoral support if you need it. This is my third degree here at Sunderland so it must be doing something right. I think the student union could be improved a lot by catering more for mature students and those with families. When I came to the uni in 2011 the student union offered a lot more for my age group.

Best aspect is the first class facilities. The course is all in class but you do have to do a lot of self directed study. I would recommend my course but it is full on and a lot to remember.

There is a lot to do around Sunderland and the metro system can take you to the coast and also into Newcastle. There is an also a train that you can take to Metrocentre and York. Edinburgh and other places of interest.
