The School of Pharmacy is one of the most highly rated pharmacy schools in the UK. Our four-year undergraduate pharmacy course leads to the degree of Master of Pharmacy and, after a further year of paid pre-registration training, to registration as a pharmacist in Great Britain. We offer five taught postgraduate degrees (including MRes) and our research degrees encompass a wide range of fields.

Overseas students currently make up 25% of our student population, representing all of the main regions of the world. The breadth of experience, insights and cultural perspectives that they bring to the School create an extraordinary learning environment.

UCL is the founding academic partner in what will be Europe’s leading centre for medical research

The School of Pharmacy has been bringing health to the world for 170 years. It is dedicated to teaching and research in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences.

In May 2011 the School of Pharmacy agreed to a merger with UCL, planned for January 2012. One of the world’s leading multidisciplinary universities, UCL is a modern, outward-looking institution committed to engaging with the major issues of our times.

Clinical experience will be supported and the options extended through the UCL Medical School’s clinical placement experience. Over time we also look forward to introduce opportunities for pharmacy, medical and other health-related students to work together in inter-professional teams in patient-centred clinical placements.

Working as part of UCL will offer broader research opportunities and platforms. UCL receives more research council funding than any other university. UCL is currently investing £350 million in state-of-the-art facilities for cutting-edge research.

The School will be at the heart of Europe’s largest grouping of biomedical research. The prospects for pharmacy education and research are exciting and our students will enjoy one of the best student experiences in the UK.

Applicants should continue to submit their applications as described in the “How to apply” sections of The School of Pharmacy website and prospectus - not to UCL.
