There is also an opportunity in the first two years to study two language units as electives in the University-wide language programme. These choices are complemented in years 1 and 2 with topics such as the 'History of Pharmacy', and 'Drug Development and Pharmacokinetics'. In the fourth year, the three main themes are complemented by the student's choice of elective and project work. The project may either be based on a laboratory investigation or be a study of some aspect of professional practice. There is collaboration with local community and hospital pharmacies and the pharmaceutical industry on many projects.
Topics often reflect the research interests of staff.
The fourth year also brings together all aspects of pharmacy so that students are aware of the full range of expertise of the pharmacist including their involvement in the formulation of medicines and as a member of the health care team. Years two, three and four include seminars and discussions of areas of professional interest and participation in ward visits at local hospitals. The flats at Langstone Campus are shown here. The Students' Union offers more than 100 clubs, sporting, social and political, providing challenges on land and sea and in the air. Students are encouraged to work on community projects through Student Community action.
