Entry requirements

The entry requirements for a GPhC-accredited MPharm degree vary between universities. However, as a guide, you might be expected to have A-B grade A-levels in chemistry and two further A-levels in either biology, mathematics, or physics. If you have A-levels in chemistry and biology, you may also be considered with an alternative third subject.

The GPhC requires students entering an MPharm degree to hold GCSEs in mathematics and English language at grade C as a minimum.

Beyond this, the entry requirements are set by the individual university offering the MPharm degree.

Universities may accept equivalent qualifications, other than A-levels, including qualifications gained outside of the UK.

If you would like to pursue a career as a pharmacist, but do not have the required A-level grades or subjects, you might consider undertaking a GPhC-accredited foundation degree as an alternative route to enter an MPharm degree.
