What will I learn?

Take the first step towards a rewarding career in pharmacy supporting hospitals, patients and communities. Become the point of contact for patients for the safe and effective use of medicines. Our five-year Pharmacy programme prepares you for a successful career as a pharmacist in community or hospital settings. Hosted at the Medway School of Pharmacy, our accredited programme is based on three interlinked themes: the science of medicines, professional practice and prescribing, and biomedical science and therapeutics. Our curriculum is outcomes-focused and designed to prepare you for your future professional practice. You study basic and applied science as well as clinical and professional practice, all in the context of patient care. You will also undertake external placements throughout your course, so that by the time you graduate you have the skills and the confidence to kickstart your career. This underpinning year is a springboard into the MPharm providing you achieve the academic requirements to transition into year 1 of the MPharm programme. This core year helps you to adapt to the higher education system and to develop and embed key academic and employability skills.
