This course includes the pre-registration element of pharmacy training, enabling you to graduate ready to apply for registration as a UK pharmacist. This ground-breaking programme means that our students are guaranteed UK pre-registration placements as part of their degree. We expect that this course will particularly appeal to international students who wish to undertake their pre-registration training in the UK whilst retaining their student status. The majority of students admitted to this programme will therefore be overseas fee paying students. The MPharm course at Nottingham is designed to equip you with the knowledge and technical ability, personal and professional skills and the nurturing and ethical outlook needed to become an excellent pharmacist. Much of your learning will be case-based to ensure that the scientific and professional elements are integrated from day one. Our course is distinctive in providing this integrated teaching across therapeutic themes or disease states. Pharmacists are experts in medicines and how they work, which, combined with the range of professional skills they have, opens up a number of career opportunities to them. Most pharmacists work in community and hospital pharmacies, but there are a number of other options available to qualified pharmacists.
