Key Information
Why study this course?

You’ll experience innovative and inclusive teaching, state-of-the-art
facilities, visits and placements in hospital, community and
industrial settings, all of which will prepare you for your future career.
Pharmacists play a key role in many aspects of the design, development,
delivery, and optimisation of the use of medicines. They’re clinicians and
scientists, but they also need strong management and communication
skills. That’s because, although many pharmacists work in community
pharmacy, hospitals and GP surgeries, they’re also very much in
demand in the pharmaceutical industry, academia, regulatory affairs
and public health.
Pharmacists promote the safe and effective use of medicines and ensure
quality patient care. They are both professional scientists and qualified
healthcare practitioners. Often, they are the first point of information
for the public and other healthcare professionals, and as such must be
effective communicators.
