About Postgraduate Pharmacy

Pharmacy is the science and technique of preparing and dispensing the drugs studied and produced by pharmacologists. It links health with chemical sciences to ensure the safe and effective use of pharmaceutical drugs.

Students of pharmacy will study the science of developing, preparing and issuing medicines. This highly precise science combines elements of pharmacology, chemistry and medicine and is central to the treatment of diseases and the overall health of our society.

There are more than 180 postgraduate pharmacy programmes available at around 50 universities in the UK including postgraduate diplomas, MSc degrees and doctoral research pathways.

What to expect

The courses are typically one to three years long and may be offered as full-time or part-time degrees. The curriculum may include coursework in research methods, cognitive development, learning disabilities, and more.

Postgraduate students will develop advanced knowledge of relevant pharmaceutical theories and study methods, carrying out applied work on developing new medicines and pharmaceutical models based on their findings.

There are several career opportunities available for individuals who have completed a postgraduate course in pharmacy including becoming a medical writer, a toxicologist, a pharmacologist, a pharmacist, or a medical sales representative.
