PHARMACY
Medway School of Pharmacy is one of the
few regional schools of pharmacy in the UK,
a collaboration between the University of Kent
and the University of Greenwich. The impetus for
the formation of the Medway School of Pharmacy
came from the local community, who recognised
the shortage of qualified pharmacists in all branches
of the pharmacy profession in Kent.
Since opening in 2004, we are now recognised as an established
school with accreditation from the General Pharmaceutical Council
(GPhC) and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
Graduates are employed in health disciplines in Kent and the
south-east and more broadly across the UK.
The School was ranked highly in the Research Excellence Framework
(REF) 2014, with 93% of our research being classed as of international
quality. We were also ranked 8th in the UK for research intensity.
Postgraduate resources
Postgraduate students have
access to all the facilities at the
Medway School of Pharmacy,
including clinical skills labs and
a ‘simulation man’. As the School
of Pharmacy is a joint venture
between the two universities,
students have access to facilities
at Kent’s Medway and Canterbury
campuses, and the University of
Greenwich.
Flexible programmes
Programmes are in units of
five, ten, 15 and 30 credits. This
variable credit structure enables
you to individualise your study
programme to suit your needs.

“I’ve enjoyed the nature
of the programme, the
approachable and friendly
staff, as well as the challenge
of completing a Master’s-level
prescribing programme.”
