Pharmacy MPharm: Recognition and accreditation

General Pharmaceutical Council 

This course has full accreditation from the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).

To become a pharmacist you need to:

• achieve an accredited four-year degree in Pharmacy;
• satisfactorily complete a year of pre-registration training in approved pharmaceutical establishments; and
• pass the GPhC's professional registration exam.

This course's accreditation means that if you graduate with an MPharm from Kingston University you can:

• progress to register for your pre-registration training; and
• after carrying out your pre-registration experience and passing the GPhC registration exam, go on to become a pharmacist in Great Britain.

You can then work as a pharmacist in a hospital, community pharmacy or the pharmaceutical industry. A number of other healthcare-related jobs will also be open to you.
