Course Summary
Pharmacists have a hand in nearly every part of the medical system. They are instrumental in designing, developing and delivering medicines to patients, and have made great strides in optimising the way medicines are used by our society. As such, they are in high demand in community pharmacies, doctors’ surgeries and hospitals as well as by the pharmaceutical industry, various medical regulatory bodies and for their role in academic research.
Keele University’s 5 year MPharm degree (with integrated training year) is a comprehensive exploration of the field of pharmacy. The course is essentially identical to the 4 year MPharm course save that the taught components of year 4 are split between years 4 and 5, allowing for a year to be spent in training with one of the university’s partner organisations. In addition, the content of a typical pre-registration year is delivered over the first two years of the program, making this MPharm degree very accessible to overseas students.
