Our four-year Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) course will give you the knowledge and practical skills you need to enter the pharmacy profession. We integrate science and practice throughout the course, giving you a sound understanding of how to apply your knowledge to solve clinical problems. You will also learn from practising pharmacists and pharmacist prescribers throughout your studies and gain workplace experience in a range of settings and different sectors of pharmacy practice. You will develop your consultation, clinical decision-making, professional and leadership skills in order to work effectively with patients, carers and other healthcare professionals and to adapt to the challenges and developments that may occur during your career. Our MPharm degree is accredited by the [General Pharmaceutical Council](http://pharmacyregulation.org/) (GPhC). Upon successful completion of the course, you will need to undertake a foundation training year, take the GPhC's common registration assessment and meet fitness to practise requirements before becoming a fully-fledged pharmacist.
A Level: AAB | AAB including Chemistry, either Mathematics or Biology, and one further rigorous academic subject. Selection for interview is normally based on predicted grades matching the entry requirement (i.e. AAB). However, in some cases we may consider an applicant whose predictions are ABB (with the A in Chemistry, Biology or Mathematics). We will consider resit applications provided you have obtained a minimum of A-level grades BBB at the first attempt (or equivalent qualifications). We do not accept grade equivalents such as ABC. Please note that the specific offer conditions will be based on the assessment of the interviewer. Practical skills are a crucial part of science education and therefore will be a requirement to pass the practical element of any science A Level taken. Where applicants are applying for science and related degrees, this is likely to be made explicit in the offer you will receive. Applicants taking A Levels are normally expected to offer three full A Levels. If you’re taking more than three A Levels, any offer will be based on three A Levels, and any additional A Levels won’t be included in your offer. Any offer will normally be based on three A Levels taken in the same sitting and based on your qualification portfolio. Your offer will stipulate which subjects and the grades required.
