If you study
pharmacy at university, you will typically take modules focusing on
chemistry, human biology and physiology, pharmaceutics (how medicines are made)
and pharmacology (how drugs interact with the body). Most pharmacy degrees
combine academic research with more vocational training and professional pharmacy
skills, such as learning about legal and ethical issues, and how to interact
with patients. You will learn all about prescriptions, drugs, medications and
clinical practice, and practice responding to different scenarios. As you study
pharmacy, you may have the opportunity to specialize in a particular type of
role (such as new medicine development or patient care), or in a particular
field of medical care (such as infectious diseases, or care of the elderly).
