MPharm degree

The Masters of Pharmacy (MPharm) degree programme is a full-time course offered by Schools of Pharmacy at a number of universities in the United Kingdom.

The MPharm is normally a four-year programme which must be completed successfully in order to enter the one year of pre-regsitration training.

Entry requirements-

You might be expected to have A-B grade A-levels in chemistry and two further A-levels in either biology, mathematics, or physics.

If you have A-levels in chemistry and biology, you may also be considered with an alternative third subject.

The GPhC requires students entering an MPharm degree to hold GCSEs in mathematics and English language at grade C as a minimum.

Beyond this, the entry requirements are set by the individual university offering the MPharm degree.

Universities may accept equivalent qualifications, other than A-levels, including qualifications gained outside of the UK.
