The Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) is accredited by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). An MPharm from an accredited UK school of pharmacy is the first step towards a career as a pharmacist. To qualify as a registered pharmacist in Britain you will need to undertake a year of foundation training after graduation and then pass the qualifying examinations of the GPhC.
The UCL School of Pharmacy has a long tradition of academic and research excellence and is internationally recognised as being one of the leading pharmacy schools worldwide. It is ranked fourth in the world for Pharmacy and Pharmacology (QS World University Rankings 2023).
The programme includes contact with patients from the start, in the form of pharmacy visits and patient interviews. Experiential learning placements are undertaken in community pharmacies, teaching hospitals and GP practices. Interprofessional learning is undertaken with other healthcare degree students. Students make regular visits to GreenLight Pharmacy, where workshops are taught by community pharmacists and students can interact with patients.
You may have the opportunity to take your Year 4 research project as part of our Study Abroad programme at one of our international partner institutions.
