Why study this course?
You'll benefit from innovative and inclusive teaching and state-of-the-art

The 5 year MPharm (with Integrated Training Year) shares the same core

course is split across years four and five, to provide opportunity for the
Integrated Training Year.
Keele has excellent links with the local health service; dedicated
teaching facilities; modern, well-equipped laboratories and analytical
facilities; an enthusiastic, multidisciplinary teaching team; and a
stimulating research environment. This course has been designed
specifically for overseas students, integrating the pre-registration year
into years 4 and 5 of the MPharm programme. Provisional accreditation
has been achieved from the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC)
for this course. Please visit keele.ac.uk/pharmacy/undergraduate/
accreditation for further information.
