Pharmacy?

Heyy I really need some help, I know what I'm about to ask may be very stupid but nevermind...I’ve been doing some research as I want to do pharmacy at uni so basically I don’t know what course/ degree I need to take in order to become a pharmacist, I mean what’s the difference between PharmSci, Mpharm, Herb Med, Pharm Chem??? :s-smilie:

which one do I have to study to become a pharmacist in the end? What is the difference between pharmacy and pharmaceutical science? im really really really confused :confused:

so I’d appreciate any help, thank you :smile:

Pharmacy is more on how to become a pharmacist, dispensing etc.
Pharmaceutical chemistry (which i do) is chemistry and drug based so can go into research etc, its more open so you can go into many things.

What uni do you want to go to?
2010 or 2011?

I am at MMU but transferring to Manchester Uni.
You can also do a college course to become a pharmacist which only takes two years

You have to do a 4 year Mpharm course to become a pharmacist.

I thought you could also do it through a college course as when i worked in a pharmacist many people were there due to being on a college course

Not as a pharmacist. You can become a dispensing assistant by doing an NVQ, but to become a pharmacist you need to do the Mpharm degree.

They were pharmacy technicians, not pharmacists

Wow you just made pharmacists sound like retards, you can't do it through a college course you have to do a 4 year Master of Pharmacy degree.

You have to do a 4 year MPharm degree which will then allow you to do a 1 year pre registration placement in either a hospital, community pharmacy or you can sometimes get an industry one though you still have to do hospital work I think. It is a decision I would not take lightly, do you really really want to be a pharmacist? If not you will find large amounts of the degree tedious and annoying. Grade requirements range from AAB (Bath) to BBB (unis like DeMontford) .

To become a pharmacist you need to complete the MPham degree, followed by a pre-reg year which leads to registration with the RPSGB, et voilà, one qualified pharmacist. :awesome:
