This page provides helpful information about bursaries, MPharm applications and anything else you may need to know when on your journey to becoming a trainee pharmacist.

Being a pharmacy student can be as equally exciting as it is daunting. Pharmacist Support is here to support you with your student life and answer some of the key questions you might have.

There is a lot of information you need to know when you’re a pharmacy student. We have put together key information, guidance and tips on what to expect from your MPharm degree and life at university.

We are constantly developing and updating our website with new resources and information. Please do come back and check in with us whenever you or your peers need support with your student experience to see what’s new!
