Our Story
UCL School of Pharmacy is one of the UK’s leading centres of pharmacy education and research. As the oldest School, founded by the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain in 1842, we have over 175 years of experience and tradition throughout which we have retained our identity as a specialist institution dedicated to teaching and research in pharmacy and the pharmaceutical sciences.
We enjoy a lively and stimulating academic environment in which teachers, researchers, professionals and students interact. All are connected by an interest in medicines – how they work, how they are made and how they are used by people to prevent and treat disease.
Research focuses on advancing and understanding medicines and health care, and in creating new medicines. Our performance in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise marks UCL School of Pharmacy as one of the most important centres for pharmacy research in UK education.
