Taught in the Leicester School of Pharmacy - one of the UK’s longest established and well-respected pharmacy schools, the pharmacy preparatory course is a focused pathway for aspiring pharmacists who don’t have the grades for direct entry on to the MPharm programme. As a Preparatory Year student, you’ll belong to our pharmacy community, accessing pharmaceutical laboratories, pharmacy simulation suites and wider university facilities, while receiving tailored support that ensures you feel prepared, connected and ready to succeed.
DMU’s distinctive block teaching approach gives you focused time with academic experts, helping you build strong foundations in chemistry, biology, maths, study skills and communication. You’ll gain hands-on scientific experience and early insight into the pharmacy profession, supported by a school with a proud heritage of producing skilled, compassionate pharmacists.
After successfully completing the preparatory year course and meeting non-academic criteria for continuation, you’ll progress directly onto our GPhC-accredited Pharmacy MPharm (Hons) programme.
