Pharmacy MPharm: Links with other organisations

St George's, University of London

This course is run jointly by Kingston University and St George's, University of London. Most of the teaching takes place at Kingston, but you will also have access to the specialist facilities and staff expertise of St George's.

Industrial placement

The Clinical Pharmacy module includes placements in hospitals and community pharmacies. This gives you the chance to apply your academic studies to real situations and experience on-the-job training. 

Competitions

Pharmacy students have the chance to take part in competitions such as the British Pharmaceutical Students' Association (BPSA) 'Responding to Symptoms', which was won in 2008 by Kingston University student Martin Rayner.

The competition assesses students' communication skills through role play with a 'patient'. The final involved counselling a patient on smoking cessation and nictotine replacement therapy. Read more about Martin's victory on the BPSA website or chemistanddruggist.co.uk.
