Course Overview

Studying for an MPharm Degree in Pharmacy at Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy & Biomedical Sciences, you'll be learning at an internationally-renowned academic organisation. We're the only institution to have twice won the Times Higher Education University of the Year award (2012/2019).

Pharmacists are experts in medicine who work alongside doctors, nurses and dentists as part of healthcare teams.

As a pharmacy graduate, you’ll need to understand the science behind drug discovery, development and delivery and how patients react to their medicines. You’ll also have to understand individual patient care and public health issues to deliver the best health and pharmaceutical care.

Our pharmacy degree combines science and pharmacy from the start. We aim to provide you with the skills and knowledge to be a medicines expert to choose from the full range of pharmacy careers.

It's delivered by the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy & Biomedical Sciences in Glasgow, Scotland. The Institute has strong links with the community, hospital and pharmaceutical industry sectors, and schools of pharmacy internationally.
