Course summary

The MPharm course at Lincoln combines the science of medicines and disease with the development of the patient-facing decision-making skills and professional practice required by modern pharmacists.

The course introduces the science underpinning how drugs are developed and produced and how they interact with the body to treat and prevent disease. It includes an understanding of how we evaluate medicines for safety and effectiveness. The patient-facing skills include developing the clinical decision-making and communication skills required to translate and apply the science to optimise treatment for individual patients within the different sectors of pharmacy practice.

The MPharm degree course at the University of Lincoln has received full accreditation of the GPhC standards for initial education and training (2021). Our graduates can progress to their Foundation Training Year, after which they can register as a pharmacist if they meet all the stipulated criteria set by the GPhC. Once registered, they will also be entitled to prescribe. Further information can be found on the GPhC website together with accreditation reports from all the Schools of Pharmacy.

The University of Lincoln's School of Pharmacy has excellent links with local hospitals, community pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals, providing opportunities to develop students' clinical learning and skills within a wide range of practices and patient-facing environments throughout the course.

MPharm students will have the opportunity to undertake placements within hospital, community, and primary care; these will be integrated throughout the curriculum to support students' learning and development.
