Study abroad programme

MPharm students at the UCL School of Pharmacy can undertake their Year 4 research project at our partner universities abroad.

MPharm students can undertake their Year 4 research project at our partner universities abroad for approximately 3 months (12 weeks). The Year 4 research project usually starts in mid-September and ends mid-December.

The purpose of the placement abroad is to broaden your experiences, enhance your career prospects and make new friends and contacts while learning key skills in a scientific-based workplace.

There are certain eligibility criteria which students must meet in order to apply, such as maintaining a minimum 2:1 average (across studies or at least in Year 2). At some of our partner institutions, a good working knowledge of the host country's language may be needed.

Preparation for placements

  • All UCL students going abroad as part of their studies are required to complete the Study Abroad Preparation Programme organised in spring by the UCL Study Abroad Team. 
  • There will also be an additional pre-departure preparation session organised by the School of Pharmacy towards the end of the summer term, to help with preparations for the project.
  • More details, including relevant forms, are made available to the successful applicants by e-mail and via Moodle.
