The Postgraduate Certificate in Pharmacy (PGCertPharm) can be taken as either a non-endorsed or endorsed programme. The endorsed options are Medicines Management or Social Pharmacy. The endorsed certificate serves as an introduction to advanced level papers. The non-endorsed certificate is an introduction to research by way of a small research experience in the pharmaceutical sciences, clinical pharmacy, social pharmacy or biopharmaceutics.
The postgraduate certificate is intended for practising pharmacists who wish to extend their knowledge and skills by way of postgraduate study.
