About Pharmacy, MPharm - at University of Sheffield

Study pharmacy at Sheffield and develop the knowledge, clinical skills and professional attributes you need to qualify as a pharmacist and support patients across a variety of settings.

Pharmacists are experts in medicines working with patients to improve health outcomes, by providing public health interventions, advice on treatment and prescribing.

Our innovative four-year pharmacy course is designed to give you the essential knowledge, skills and attributes needed to support patients as a reflective, ethical and professional pharmacist and prepare you for evidence-based prescribing. It is for people who enjoy science, are passionate about working with the public, and want to help improve people’s health and well-being.

We take an integrated approach to teaching, looking at all aspects of medicines, from design through to patient care. You will draw on the expertise of subject specialists including registered and practising pharmacists and other healthcare practitioners, building your expertise in consultation, clinical reasoning and teamwork. You will be supported in your journey through your personal tutor and professional mentor.

The University of Sheffield is working towards accreditation of this programme with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). The programme will be provisionally accredited until the accreditation process is complete. After being awarded your MPharm degree, you will need to complete a 12-month structured foundation training period and assessment, leading to registration as a Pharmacist with the GPhC.

Pharmacy with Preparatory Year

Applicants with a GPhC recognised Pharmacy Technician Qualification can also study this course with a preparatory year (also referred to as a foundation year), which prepares them for degree-level study. Applicants for this Preparatory Year will be considered on an individual basis.
