A pharmacy degree is perfect for students interested in chemistry and how medicine assists patients with their conditions. Pharmacy courses generally last four years, and modules cover pharmacology, biology and physiology, pharmaceutics, chemistry, ethics, and economics.
Students will also benefit from work placements within the industry to provide valuable insights and professional experience. State-of-the-art labs will help you to improve your skills with replica medicine-dispensing stations, consulting areas, and computers linked to the systems used by the pharmacy industry.
Pharmacy graduates can work as pharmacists in complex hospital pharmacies or community pharmacies, as assistants alongside technicians or in hospitals, and as pharmacy technicians with specialisation in manufacturing, quality control and clinical trials.
Entry requirements vary for each Irish university, but international students will need an IELTS score of 6.5 overall, no lower than 6.0 in each component, and an International Baccalaureate score of 34 points. Qualifications in chemistry and maths are generally required to become a pharmacist.
