they are introduced to the core degree subjects; they put some of this
knowledge to use in laboratory sessions and they get to meet the School
staff. This year the 61 attendees were introduced to tablet making, they
synthesised a drug substance and they provided diagnosis for symptoms in a hypothetical

A Career in Pharmacy - University College Cork
A career in Pharmacy is the first choice for an increasing number of students entering third level education and it is both a rewarding and fulfilling one. At the UCC School of Pharmacy, we thought it might be of help to students about to make important decisions, to show them what our pharmacy programme entails, and of interest as well to the wider public to learn how those pills come to be on the pharmacy shelves. We asked third year Pharmacy student, Siún Tobin, to be our guide.
