Overview
The Pharmacy degree from the University of Strathclyde fits with all areas of the practice of pharmacy including hospital clinical pharmacy, technical services and community pharmacy practice. The programme aims to develop, strengthen and enhance pharmacy research and help to build the credibility of pharmacy as a research focussed profession.
This course is suitable for pharmacists who already have some research experience and wish to enhance their research skills and experience.
When does teaching begin?
The teaching will take place in the academic year starting at the beginning of October each year.
If you're undertaking the course on a full-time basis all the taught classes will take place in the first year of the course. For part-time students this will take 18 months. The taught classes must be passed to proceed to the research element.
Can I get credit for previous learning?
This may be awarded on an individual basis at the point of application. Any recognised prior learning must be ratified by the Board of Study. Credit for prior leaning may only be awarded in blocks of 60 credits (60, 120 or 180). Only under exceptional circumstances will a student be awarded 180 credits for prior learning.
Will the minimum duration of study be reduced if I get credit for prior learning?
There may be a reduction in the minimum duration of study if credit is given for prior learning but this will be awarded on an individual basis following application and discussion between the DPharm course organiser and the head of Institute. This must also be ratified by the Faculty of Science Board of Study.
What is the final assessment?
Once you have completed all the taught elements and the research, you'll submit a thesis which will be sent to an external examiner (outwith the University of Strathclyde) and an internal examiner (within Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, who is GPhC registered). You'll be called for an oral exam in which you'll defend your thesis and the work that it contains. The examiners will make the decision on whether you should be awarded the qualification.
