Student support

Support on your course

You'll have access to support through both your course and wider University services.

Student societies and the peer-assisted student support scheme will also enable you to connect with fellow students.

Academic advising

You'll have an academic advisor who you can turn to if you ever need support for a specific issue.

You will be assigned an academic advisor in your first week with us. Your academic advisor will act as a guide to overcome any issues, be it course related or personal, throughout the MPharm course.

They will explain and help you access the vast array of support services we have at university level.

You will quickly build a trusting relationship with your academic advisor through scheduled tutorials. You can contact your academic advisor at any time outside these tutorials too. You can trust your advisor to keep matters confidential.

The academic advisor tutorials also serve as checkpoints to see whether you are engaging regularly, progressing well and making the best use of your learning environment, or whether you require additional support.

Additional sources of support include the Student Welfare and Professional Support (SWAPS) team, who offer impartial advice and will help you develop transferable skills to enhance your employability prospects.

The Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) scheme and student societies, including the Manchester University Pharmaceutical Society (MUPS), can also provide additional support.

COVID-19 and your course

Providing a high-quality education

We know the last few months have been challenging and uncertain for us all.

We hope to see you in person in September if everything is well. Whatever happens next, we'll adjust to follow government guidelines while maintaining a quality learning environment.

Students with equipment

Adapting our teaching

Below are examples of how we’ve adapted our teaching while restrictions are in place.

All lectures are being delivered online in Semester 1 this year.

Learning content is structured in small, manageable chunks that are easy to digest. Students frequently engage with short videos, checklists, short formative tests, discussion and summaries.

Staff are also available for question and answer sessions.

Our students have come onto campus for some essential face-to-face teaching, such as practical work in biology and chemistry. We follow all of the relevant guidelines to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

This year, hospital and community pharmacy placements (one or two days in length) have been moved into Semester 2. We are using Semester 1 to introduce the role of the pharmacist and their place in the healthcare team.
