In September 1921, Hope Constance Monica Winch arrived in Sunderland. She had an ambitious plan to establish the finest pharmacy department in the north-east of England. She started with three fee-paying students and 25 ex-servicemen, in a teaching space equipped with only one double-sided bench. 100 years later, we have produced tens of thousands of pharmacy graduates. You can find them in hospital or community pharmacies, GP surgeries, industry, or teaching future pharmacists here at the University.
We're the only university in the north-east to offer a full suite of pharmacy courses:
Pharmacy students working with a simulation manikin in the mock ward during a clinical skills session
Pharmacy students taking a patient history in the mock ward during a clinical skills session
Pharmacy students interacting with a PCPI participant in the immersive suite during a problem-based learning simulation sessionLearn more about Pharmacy at Sunderland, including our courses, career opportunities, and research.
