My experience of the pharmacy degree so far has given me a thoroughly comprehensive introduction to the profession. The curriculum spans every facet of pharmacy - from the chemical and pharmacological basis of medicines, to the processes by which they are formulated and brought to market, and to understanding the incredible impact a pharmacist can have on a patient’s life.

The diverse scope of modules in every year of the programme thus far has allowed me to explore a wide range of interests. Whether in patient-centred care, natural products and pharmacognosy, or the chemistry behind modern medications – the breadth of opportunities for learning is incredible.

Beyond the academic content, the support and teaching from the School of Pharmacy has nurtured a confidence in myself in becoming a future healthcare professional. Whether I follow a path in community, hospital or industry, I feel the programme has already given me an exceptional foundation on which to build my career.

If you have an aptitude for biology and chemistry, and wish to transform this interest into a career as a healthcare professional, studying Pharmacy in Trinity College Dublin might be the right choice for you!

Studying Pharmacy at Trinity College Dublin has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Now in my third year, I have truly appreciated how this degree combines rigorous scientific teaching with practical, patient-focused skills. The lecturers are brilliant, supportive, and always encourage us to think critically. The programme also offers several excellent opportunities to put theory into practice through labs, inter-professional workshops, and placements.

One of the aspects I value most is the range of career options that studying Pharmacy opens up. Whether you’re interested in community or hospital pharmacy, the pharmaceutical industry, research, regulatory affairs, or emerging roles in digital health and clinical trials, this degree really prepares you for all of them. The programme provides you with a strong technical foundation in pharmacology, therapeutics, formulation science, health legislation, and medicines development, providing a solid platform for whichever career pathway you choose.

Studying in the heart of Dublin and being part of such a vibrant academic community has made the experience even more fulfilling. I would highly recommend the TCD Pharmacy programme to anyone who wants a challenging but inspiring, science-driven degree with endless career possibilities!
