Preparation for Pharmacy - MPharm (Hons)

University of Liverpool

Our Preparation for Pharmacy year zero preparation course is designed for mature students who've typically been out of formal education for at least four years at the point of entry and/or who have taken non-traditional qualifications. Preparation for Pharmacy leads to access onto our undergraduate Pharmacy (MPharm) course.Students seeking entry to Pharmacy will study a preparatory year (year zero) at Carmel College, St Helens, about 9 miles from the University campus, where the class sizes are small and the standards of academic achievement high before joining the Pharmacy course on the University of Liverpool campus in year one following successful completion of the preparation year. Carmel College has bespoke higher education teaching classrooms and laboratories within a dedicated Higher Education Centre. Students on the preparatory year at Carmel College have access to all central University student services.​Please note that we won’t consider applications from prospective students who have multiple UCAS applications for a variety of courses as this doesn’t demonstrate a clear commitment. Graduates should apply directly to the MPharm course and would be considered ineligible to apply to the MPharm course with preparatory year. International applicants or deferred entry requests will not be considered via this route.The University of Liverpool are working towards accreditation of the MPharm course with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). The MPharm course will be provisionally accredited until the accreditation process is complete. Upon graduating with an MPharm degree from The University of Liverpool, students will need to complete a mandatory 12-month structured foundation training period and assessment, to register as a Pharmacist with the GPhC.​
