You will have the chance to run your own simulated pharmacy in a fully immersive and commercial clinical environment. This will help you shape your patient counselling, drug dispensing, and medicine prescribing skills.
In addition, you can explore various destinations such as Malaysia, Canada, and Australia for your study abroad and research projects.
I studied in Malaysia as part of the degree, which was an enriching experience both academically and personally. The School of Pharmacy has such excellent connections to the industry, which has helped me secure a summer placement with Boots.
