• In each year of the degree, the student will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
  • The program gives graduates an integrated and interdisciplinary perspective on the science of medicines and links this to the practice and ethics of the pharmacy profession. It includes contact with patients throughout, with students taking part in placements in pharmacy settings and in-house patient interviews.

  • In the fourth year, students undertake a research project in the area of pharmacy or pharmaceutical science. This project may be carried out in the school or with one of our NHS or international partners. Upon successful completion of 480 credits, the student will be awarded an MPharm (Hons) in Pharmacy.
