Work with a highly-ranked course
Our MPharm Pharmacy course is currently ranked Top 10 in the Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025.
Students on our four-year MPharm at Plymouth study the same course content as students at Bath, gaining a unique knowledge of the scientific development and clinical use of medicines, and preparing them for a career as a pharmacist or in pharmaceutical research. Teaching combines classroom and lab-based learning, campus based simulations and placements in real healthcare settings across the South West.
We're also launching a new MPharm with Preparatory Year in September 2025 to prepare students with underpinning knowledge and experience so they are ready to enter into Year 1 of our MPharm.
