Why do you somehow think that its 'beneath you'? Its a massive career area - and not just 'running a shop' on the High Street.

Hi,

Not at all! The MPharm programme is definitely a challenging degree and requires intellect, especially in areas like chemistry, biology, pharmaceutical calculations, situational judgement, and problem-solving. It’s a highly respected course and opens up many career paths, including hospital, community, and primary care pharmacy, the pharmaceutical industry, teaching, research, and regulation. As long as you enjoy it and are willing to put in the work, it’s not a waste of your intelligence. I’d also recommend doing more research into the course to make sure it’s the right fit for you.
