Study our highly-ranked pharmacy course at the University of Plymouth

As a student on our four-year MPharm at Plymouth, you will study the same course content as students at Bath, gaining a unique knowledge of the scientific development and clinical use of medicines, and preparing you for a career as a pharmacist.

Graduating with a University of Bath degree, you’ll be taught by Devon-based University of Bath academic and practice staff, and live and learn in Plymouth. This new course provides the opportunity to live and study in the vibrant and unique surroundings of Britain’s Ocean City, alongside the many other health courses that are offered from the University of Plymouth.

Our teaching staff are heavily involved in research, meaning your course content is continuously updated to ensure you have access to the most up-to-date thinking and techniques in the field.

You also have access to practice-based teaching facilities, where you can put what you’ve learnt on the course into practice. Our pharmacy practice suite contains a range of clinical teaching facilities, including consultation rooms, where you can role-play encounters with patients, or work with our SimMan 3G, a life-like robotic patient programmed to have a range of simulated medical conditions.

The only school of pharmacy in the South West, we have strong and valued relationships with local NHS Trusts in Bath, Bristol, Swindon and Plymouth, as well as with leading national community pharmacy chains (Boots, Lloyds Chemists, Day Lewis pharmacies).

We have a reputation for producing well-rounded and confident students, who are academically strong. They achieve high pass rates in the mandatory registration assessment set by the General Pharmaceutical Council, and our final year MPharm students are consistently gaining high-quality Foundation Training places in a variety of sectors across the UK through the national NHS recruitment process.

This combination of skills is what make our students stand out as more desirable to employers, which is proven year-on-year as our graduates go on to attain some of the best jobs in the UK.
