Pharmacy

The University are pioneers in pharmacy education, launching the UK’s first five-year practice-integrated MPharm in the 1970s. In 2012, we led the way again as the first university to implement Team-Based Learning across our entire MPharm curriculum. These innovations have ensured our graduates are prepared for real-world clinical practice.
