MPharm Pharmacy
University of LincolnBrayford Pool, United Kingdom
Course overview
The MPharm Pharmacy at the University of Lincoln is perfectly suited for students who want to dive deep into the science of medicine and gain the skills needed to work as a pharmacist. This four-year full-time degree will teach students about drugs and how they are developed; guide them on how these drugs interact with the human body to treat and prevent disease; and, most importantly, teach them how medicines are evaluated for safety and effectiveness.
Apart from learning about the science behind drugs, students will also learn customer management; they will be taught decision-making, communication, and professional practice skills. At the end of the program, students will learn how to navigate real-life challenges, including treatment for individual patients across hospitals, community pharmacies, primary care, and other settings.
