Pharmacy offers exciting and diverse opportunities in today’s demanding
and changing health care system. Studying Postgraduate Pharmacy at Keele
will enrich and develop your skills and enhance your career opportunities,
whether that is in general practice, community, hospital or research based.
We have extensive experience of
designing programmes of study
that are easily accessible and
relevant to working healthc are
professionals. We offer highly
flexible learning programmes,
delivered principally by open and
distance learning. Students can
choose a fixed pathway as their
preferred route of study, or, by
selecting the CPD Plus route,
may 'pick and mix' modules from
across our programmes to build up
their own pathway to a Certificate,
Diploma or an MSc award.
Students who chose the CPD
Plus route have flexibility in the
timescales for their studies with
us. Alternatively, you may choose
to complete a single CPD Plus
stand-alone course at any point
in your career to meet your
own professional development
needs, without the need to
work towards a postgraduate
award. The Independent
Prescribing Preparatory Course
for pharmacists can be integrated
into the Diploma pathway. This
route will give you the professional
award necessary for registration
with the General Pharmaceutical
Council as a prescriber as well as
a Postgraduate Certificate award.
The courses we offer suit all
stages of a career from newly
qualified to advanced practitioner,
including a professional doctorate.
This provides the opportunity
for pharmacists to achieve the
highest academic qualification
in a progressive way related to
their professional and career
development.

development in every sector of
pharmacy and to enable students
