Experiential learning is at the heart of this program. Students benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, including simulated hospital wards, community pharmacies, and modern laboratories where they practice compounding and testing medicines. Clinical placements form a key component of training, giving students the opportunity to work alongside healthcare professionals in hospitals, GP surgeries, and community pharmacies. These placements allow students to apply their learning in real-world contexts, developing confidence in dealing with patients, understanding prescription processes, and collaborating with healthcare teams. The program also includes research-led projects, where students investigate contemporary challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, new drug delivery methods, or public health interventions. This combination of practical, clinical, and research-based learning ensures graduates are workplace-ready.
