Here's what University of Bradford says about its Pharmacy course.
At the University of Bradford we've been teaching pharmacy since 1927, and are experts in preparing students for the world of clinical practice.
Our innovative and award winning degree programme, delivered predominately by Team-Based Learning (TBL), has been designed by pharmacists, educators, students and employers to ensure that you will graduate not only with necessary knowledge and skills of a pharmacy graduate, but also with the confidence, communication, team-working, and problem-solving skills needed to secure employment. Our classes simulate the workplace and you will work in small teams to solve real-world problems, many of which are brought into the classroom from pharmacy practice by our team of pharmacist teacher-practitioners.
On graduation you will then need to successfully complete a 1-year Foundation Training period in order to become a qualified pharmacist. Alternatively you can choose our unique 5-year MPharm programme, which enables you to undertake your Foundation Training as part of the programme. This means you will leave us as a qualified pharmacist, pending successful completion of the GPhC registration exam.
Whichever one you choose, you can be assured that our MPharm programmes have been specially designed so that you leave us fully prepared for contemporary pharmacy practice, and with the skills and confidence to succeed and achieve your full potential in your future employment.
Professional accreditation Professional accreditation Entry to the profession of pharmacy is regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). Both our MPharm programmes were accredited for the maximum period of six years by the GPhC in 2025.
Rankings Pharmacy at the University of Bradford is ranked 7th in the UK out of 31 Schools of Pharmacy according to the Guardian University League Table 2022, and 11th when Pharmacy and Pharmacology are combined.

The course is interesting and the lectures are generally good. The amount of teaching time is actually very low though.

The university is generally good and people are usually helpful. The facilities such as the library are excellent. However, there is not much support and it can be difficult to contact people.
