Pharmacists are at the front-line of the modern healthcare system. Experts in medicines design and use, they play a critical role in improving patient health and wellbeing.

The content and structure of our pharmacy courses will be changing to reflect the revised standards for pharmacists training set by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). The course pages will reflect these changes in due course. Please note this affects all pharmacy courses in the UK.

Our courses will give you a unique knowledge of both the scientific development and clinical use of medicines, equipping you with the skills for a rewarding career in pharmacy or pharmaceutical research.
