Course is interesting although learning the basics in fundamentals was a bit more boring as it was stuff most has already previously learned. Personal tutor is nice and very helpful with all enquires we, the tutees, had. Job prospects are quite varied although all within pharmaceuticals - most go into hospital or community. Wish there were more opportunities for talks on how to get into other sectors such as industry or research etc. overall, happy with the course so far. read more

I am very lucky to have got into the MPharm degree at notts as it’s been rated best in the UK for pharmacy and number 2 in the world. I think it’s course reputation was primarily my reason for choosing to come to notts. So far I have found the course content to be really interesting- they do DMP modules which is basically learn about different conditions, how these relate to drugs and the patient and this really helps you to think about your knowledge in a wider sense and apply it to real life. The lab facilities are amazing. Some lecturers are considerably more helpful than others but I suppose this is the same with any course. I haven’t found having a person tutor to be of much help as their speciality isn’t actually in pharmacy so it’s hard to ask them any questions they will directly know the answer to. I love that some of it is still online with prerecorded lectures as it helps you to live a more flexible lifestyle. read more

We need more funding for placement travel. There are approximately 20 hours of teaching a week so we get given handouts of lecture slides, but they come in treasury tags. They rip after a few weeks use. Chemistry have much better quality handouts which would be better. Teaching is great, always help if you ask for it. read more
