Something for everyone

The best way to start your career in pharmacy is to join us for our eight week Summer Placement Programme. You’re welcome to take part during any or all of the summers during your degree, but it’s vital to complete a placement in your third year, as it’s the way to gain a place on our Pre-registration Programme. The experience gives you a real opportunity to put into practice everything you’re learning at University. It’ll give you the chance to understand community pharmacy first hand, and to work with patients, all with the support of our pharmacy teams.

We structure your training depending on your year of study, that way we can offer you something different each year you attend. Your learning will be tailored dependent on your strengths, development needs and areas of interest, plus you’ll have regular reviews with your tutor, personal coaching and career discussions.

Our Preregistration Programme is known for the quality of its training. In fact, our pass rate has consistently been above the national average. The structured course is mapped out in line with the requirements of the RPSGB/PSNI/PSI and we cover so much more. By combining great planning and organisation of the year, clear and easy to use materials, structured, informative workshops, and your own dedicated mentor, we aim to give you the best possible chance of outstanding success. Supported by a team dedicated to you, including Teacher Practitioners, Area teams and HR support, you’ll find commitment and passion to help to become the Pharmacist you want to be.
