This course is designed to prepare students for an undergraduate programme in Pharmacy. It will cover a range of topics that will develop students' understanding and skills for a Pharmacy degree. The course material is taught from the A-Level syllabus, but is more tailored for a Science based subject.

Duration:

A pharmacist can be involved in any aspect of the preparation and use of medicines, from the discovery of their active ingredients to their use by patients. Pharmacists also monitor the effects of medicines, both for patient care and for research purposes.

Pharmacy is a healthcare profession requiring a high level of education and training. The first thing you need to do to become a pharmacist is gain an MPharm, a four-year degree. MPharms are offered by UK universities. After passing an MPharm you then have to enter pre-registration training for one year and pass the registration examination of The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB), which is offered twice a year. After that, you can apply to register as a pharmacist.
