A new DPharm degree provides opportunities for pharmacists to enhance their previous academic achievement and professional experience by undertaking a post-masters distance-learning programme. The programme comprises components in transferable skills, research methods, professional skills and practice, and independent research. The core of the practice component is the opportunity for students to develop and apply their professional skills and knowledge within their speciality. This may be from any area of practice. Students undertake studies in their workplace, supported by local tutors. The independent research study comprises a topic chosen by the student. The pace of study is flexible, within a 3-6 year period. Details: Professor M. C. Allwood.
