Pharmacy Degree highlights

Ranked No.1 in UK for Pharmacy and Pharmacology (The Guardian Best UK Universities for Pharmacy and Pharmacology 2021)

Professional Accreditations

  • The degree is accredited by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) in Great Britain and the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland (PSNI), as the relevant regulators. The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) published new Standards for the initial education and training of pharmacists in 2021. The MPharm course is therefore subject to change to meet the new Standards and prospective students should note that these changes are ongoing. The information presented here for 2023 entry is subject to ongoing changes, including to the admissions criteria (the 2021 standards stipulate that "all admissions and selection processes must include an interactive component, to assess applicants’ values and professional suitability").
    The 2021 standards place more emphasis on students demonstrating professional judgement, management of risk, diagnostic and consultation skills, and other attributes associated with being an independent prescriber. There will also be a greater focus on experiential learning within the degree programme.

Learning and Teaching

The School of Pharmacy is ranked number 1 in the UK for Pharmacy and Pharmacology (THE GUARDIAN BEST UK UNIVERSITIES FOR PHARMACY & PHARMACOLOGY 2021). Moreover, we’re delighted that our MPharm degree has achieved 91% (8% above sector average) for student satisfaction in the National Student Survey (2020-2021). This places us fifth among UK schools of pharmacy and is an indication of the outstanding quality of the student experience we provide. We are recognised for our excellence in teaching and our international reputation in research.

For example, the School has a major commitment to placements in the hospital and community setting. The programme provides hospital and community placements for students throughout all years of their undergraduate degree and is at the forefront of UK pharmacy undergraduate training.

These placements are designed to provide students with an excellent opportunity to apply their clinical knowledge and skills to real-life situations. The placement aims to facilitate high quality teaching and learning activities and also to promote the professional attitudes and behaviours expected of tomorrow's pharmacists.

  • Advisor of Studies
    Who can provide additional support for students and can give advice on academic progression.
  • E-Learning technologies
    Information associated with lectures and assignments is often communicated via a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) called Canvas. A range of e-learning experiences are also embedded in the degree programme through the use of, for example, interactive support materials and web-based learning activities.
  • Induction – Skills weeks
    A formalised induction for all undergraduate students in the School of Pharmacy. This allows first year students to familiarise themselves with the campus and the degree programme. During the first two weeks there are a number of sessions on topics such as academic writing, referencing, plagiarism, communication skills, unconscious bias training, examination preparation and managing time effectively.
  • Interprofessional learning
    The course also includes opportunities to engage in interprofessional learning in all four years of the degree. Pharmacy students engage with nursing and medical students to address real world problems in healthcare. Students are also expected to develop a range of clinical skills that they will be able to use in both primary and secondary (hospital) care upon qualification. In addition, students are encouraged to develop their lifelong learning skills through the use of reflective portfolios and task booklets.
  • Lectures
    These introduce information about topics as a starting point for further self-directed private study/reading. As the module progresses this information delivered via lectures usually becomes more complex. Our approach to lectures will include asynchronous recorded lectures with 'recap of learning' on campus (in person) interactive sessions. The ‘Introductory’ lecture for each module is usually held on campus.
  • Peer Mentoring Scheme
    Whereby students in second and third year of their degree programme volunteer to mentor year one students.
  • Personal Development Planning
    To encourage students to engage in independent learning.
  • Personal tutor
    Who acts as a first point of contact for students with academic or personal issues that they may require guidance and/or support with.
  • Practicals
    You will have opportunities to develop technical skills in our teaching laboratories and apply theoretical principles to real-life or practical contexts through the modules you study.
  • Self-directed study
    This is an essential part of life as a Queen’s student when important private reading, engagement with e-learning resources, reflection on feedback to date and assignment research and preparation work is carried out.
  • Simulated learning
    The Pharmacy Practice Unit and Faculty simulation facilities allow students to practise in a safe environment with simulated patients and peers. These facilities replicate the community pharmacy, GP practices, a patient's home and hospital environment at the highest level.
  • Supervised Projects
    You will get the opportunity to complete an individual final year research project with an academic in an area of pharmacy that you are interested in and enjoy. The project helps you to develop critical thinking skills by completing a critical review of the literature. You then develop your project research protocol, collect and analyse data and present this at the end of the year in the form of a research paper.
  • Workshops/seminars
    A significant amount of teaching is carried out in smaller groups (typically 25-30 students). These sessions are designed to explore, in more depth, the information that has been presented in the lectures. This provides students with the opportunity to engage closely with academic staff who have specialist knowledge of the topic, to ask questions of them and to assess their own progress and understanding with the support of their peers.

Assessment

Details of assessments associated with this course are outlined below:

  • The way in which students are assessed will vary according to the intended learning outcomes of each module. The majority of modules are assessed through a combination of coursework, OSCEs (objective, structured, clinical examinations) and three end of semester examinations. Details of how each module is assessed are shown in Canvas (the virtual learning environment).

Feedback

As students progress through their course at Queen’s they will receive general and specific feedback about their work from a variety of sources including lecturers, module coordinators, placement supervisors, personal tutors, advisers of study and peers. University students are expected to engage with reflective practice and to use this approach to improve the quality of their work. Feedback may be provided in a variety of forms including:

  • Feedback provided via formal written comments and marks relating to work that you, as an individual or as part of a group, have submitted.
  • Face to face comments, either as part of scheduled classes or through meetings with members of staff
  • Placement employer comments or references.
  • Online or emailed comments
  • General comments or question and answer opportunities at the end of a lecture, seminar or tutorial.
  • Pre-submission advice regarding the standards you should aim for and common pitfalls to avoid. In some instances, this may be provided in the form of model answers or exemplars which you can review in your own time.
  • Feedback and outcomes from practical classes.
  • Comment and guidance provided by staff from specialist support services such as, Careers, Employability and Skills or the Learning Development Service.
  • Once you have reviewed your feedback, you will be encouraged to identify and implement further improvements to the quality of your work.

Facilities

Students have access to simulated clinical environments and large teaching laboratories.

Entrance requirements

All applicants
Please be aware that the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) published new Standards for the initial education and training of pharmacists in 2021 which means information about the MPharm degree is subject to change to meet the new Standards. Prospective students should note that these changes are ongoing. One important change that will be introduced for the 2023 intake onwards relates to the selection and admissions processes. The 2021 Standards stipulate that "all admissions and selection processes must include an interactive component, to assess applicants’ values and professional suitability". Previously, an interactive component was only required in certain circumstances such as graduate entry. Therefore, for 2023/24 entry and beyond, shortlised applicants must complete an interview process.

More detail is provided in the Admissions Policy Statement for Pharmacy which can be accessed from the link below.
A level requirements
AAB including A-level Chemistry and at least one other A-level from Biology, Mathematics or Physics + GCSE Biology grade C/4 or GCSE Double Award Science grades CC/4,4 + GCSE Mathematics grade C/4.

Note: Biology to at least AS preferred. Please note that only one Mathematics subject will be counted at A-level. A-level Critical Thinking and General Studies are not acceptable.

Shortlisted applicants will be required to attend an interview as part of the selection process. More detail is provided in the Admissions Policy Statement for Pharmacy which can be accessed from the link below.
Irish leaving certificate requirements
H1H1H1H2H2H2 including H1 in Biology and Chemistry + if not offered at Higher Level, Ordinary Level grade O4 in Mathematics and English.

Shortlisted applicants will be required to attend an interview as part of the selection process. More detail is provided in the Admissions Policy Statement for Pharmacy which can be accessed from the link below.

Further information
1. As a result of current legislative requirements any offer made will be conditional on a satisfactory criminal history check (Access NI Enhanced Disclosure Check). To enable the University to request this check you will be required to provide some personal information which will be treated in the strictest of confidence and in line with Data Protection Principles. The current cost of an Enhanced Disclosure Check is £33. At the time of printing changes are due to be implemented and relevant procedures and/or costs may change. Applicants will be advised of the relevant requirements at the appropriate time. For international students, a Certificate of Good Conduct or equivalent will be required in lieu of an Access NI check.

2. The degree is subject to the University’s regulations on Fitness to Practise.

3. Any offer to study within the Pharmacy degree programme at QUB will be conditional on confirmation that the student does not appear on the Excluded Students Database. The Excluded Students Database is a national database which records those who have previously been excluded from professional programmes, on fitness to practise grounds. It is used only for proper fitness to practise purposes to protect patients and the public, and to prevent fraudulent applications. Normally students who have previously been excluded from professional programmes will not be made an offer.

Selection Criteria

In addition, to the entrance requirements above, it is essential that you read our guidance below on 'How we choose our students' prior to submitting your UCAS application.

Applications are dealt with centrally by the Admissions and Access Service rather than by the School of Pharmacy. Once your on-line form has been processed by UCAS and forwarded to Queen's, an acknowledgement is normally sent within two weeks of its receipt at the University.

Selection is on the basis of the information provided on your UCAS form. These decisions can only be made on the basis of the information given and applicants must show due care and diligence when completing their applications. In particular, full details must be included about qualifications completed or still to be completed.

The information provided in the personal statement section and the academic reference together with predicted grades are noted but, in the case of the Pharmacy degree, these are not the deciding factors in whether or not a conditional offer is made. However, they may be reconsidered in a tie break situation in August.

Applicants who are being considered for admission to the Pharmacy degree will be required to attend an interview as part of the selection process. More detail is provided in the Admissions Policy Statement for Pharmacy which can be accessed from the link below.

School Leavers taking A-level Qualifications

For admission to Pharmacy past performance at GCSE and AS-level is taken into account when deciding which applicants are to be shortlisted for interview. Where applicants do not cash-in AS-level examinations results at the end of year 13 (Year 12 England and Wales), it is helpful if the equivalent grades are given in the academic reference, since this will speed up the decision-making process.

The final threshold to be called to interview is not usually determined until later in the application cycle (February-March), so there may be a delay in processing applicants whose GCSE threshold is borderline. The final threshold varies from year to year depending on competition for places.

Offers are normally made on the basis of 3 A-levels. A-level General Studies and A-level Critical Thinking are not acceptable. However, performance in these subjects may be taken into account in tie-break situations after the publication of A-level results in August. Only one Mathematics subject will be counted at A-level. Performance in the second Mathematics A-level may be taken into account in tie-break situations after the publication of A-level results in August.

Repeat A-level Applicants

The offer for repeat applicants is normally one A-level grade higher than the normal asking grades. Grades from the previous year can be held and for subjects being retaken it is not necessary to repeat all modules.

Please note that only two attempts at admission on the basis of A-levels (or equivalent) are allowed.

Graduate Applicants

A minimum of an Upper Second Class Honours degree preferably in a relevant subject. Those with an Upper Second Class Honours degree in a non-relevant subject may be considered if they have the appropriate science background at GCSE and A-level.

Visiting the School of Pharmacy

In addition to the general University Open Days held in September, students made an offer will be invited to a Faculty/School Visit Day, usually held in February-April. This will allow you the opportunity to visit the University and to find out more about the Pharmacy degree and the facilities on offer. It also gives you a flavour of the academic and social life at Queen's.
