New Pharmacy Course in SETU

SETU welcomes its approval to offer a new Masters of Pharmacy (MPharm) programme, aiming to address the skills demands of the healthcare sector and contribute to the vibrant pharma industry of the region.

The announcement by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Patrick O'Donovan TD at an event at the University of Limerick (UL) today aligns with SETU’s strategic plan and builds on SETU’s established expertise in pharmaceutical science and biosciences, underpinned by research at the Pharmaceutical and Molecular Biotechnology Research Centre (PMBRC).

Acknowledging the support of numerous stakeholders, from community, hospital and industry settings to the region’s public representatives, Prof. Campbell said. “Their unwavering backing has been instrumental in advancing the provision of a pharmacy programme here in the south east.”

In conclusion, Prof. Campbell stated, “We very much look forward to bringing this programme to fruition and are actively working towards accreditation from the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland in 2025 with the inclusion of the new programme in the CAO listing in 2025/26 to provide for an annual intake of 40 students.
