We’re excited to announce that Bangor University is set to open its doors for students to apply for our new Pharmacy undergraduate programme starting in September 2025. The new 4 year MPharm programme within the North Wales Medical School at Bangor will align with the General Pharmaceutical Council’s new Standards for Initial Education and Training of Pharmacists and will support the regional health and wellbeing of the population by preparing pharmacy graduates for their roles as part of integrated healthcare teams to facilitate patient care. These programmes are currently being prepared for internal validation and so are currently subject to successful validation along with continued GPhC accreditation. Bangor University is working towards accreditation of this programme with the GPhC. The programme will be provisionally accredited until the accreditation process is complete. This new programme will complement our Pharmacology BSc programme.
