Masters Degree Description

This course is ideal for non-UK qualified pharmacists wanting to develop clinical skills to deliver ‘pharmaceutical care’. The course also provides foundations in health service research and will benefit Pharmacists working in hospital or community practice. You will receive advanced training in the practice of pharmacy, to enable you to deliver optimum pharmaceutical care, and become a safer and more effective practitioner. You'll be taught predominately by pharmacists registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).

Please note the MSc Clinical Pharmacy is not an advanced masters programme and does not result in a qualification allowing graduates to register in the UK as a Pharmacist. The course is primarily aimed at overseas pharmacists with limited existing clinical pharmacy experience. Content covered on the course is comparable to that delivered in the MPharm Pharmacy degree.

Entry Requirements

Minimum second-class (2:2) Honours degree or international equivalent in Pharmacy; plus a minimum of 18 months post-study clinical experience in a patient facing role or environment. A copy of your CV should be provided as proof, detailing work experience and duties.

Applicants who hold an MPharm degree from the UK or Australia or a DPharm from the USA or Canada in the previous 5 years do not require the post-study clinical experience.
