Pharmacy, MPharm (Hons)
Swansea UniversitySingleton Park Campus, United Kingdom
Course overview
Modern healthcare is delivered by an interdisciplinary team and increasingly, pharmacists are delivering enhanced and new clinical services across healthcare settings, including as prescribers. Our Pharmacy degree recognises these new and advanced roles and integrates sciences and practice to prepare students to meet the challenges of the changing face of pharmacy. During your four-year integrated Master’s degree (MPharm) in Pharmacy, you will follow a curriculum designed to reflect the way pharmacists approach patients and how patients present to pharmacists.
We combine fundamental and complex scientific principles with how they are applied to give you a clear understanding of the practice of pharmacy. Together with a strong focus on clinical and communication skills and digital technology, you will develop the academic, practical, and personal qualities to practice pharmacy competently and with confidence.
