Career pathways

You'll learn the fundamental pharmaceutical, chemical, and biological sciences combined with clinical therapeutics and patient-focused clinical skills. We have state-of-the-art facilities to enable the simulation of healthcare settings, where you'll work alongside patients and their carers, and other healthcare students during interprofessional learning sessions. Most of our clinical staff continue to work in practice as prescribers alongside their academic work. This means you'll have direct links to employers and the most up to date clinical teaching.
