Pharmacy Society

We aim to inform, educate and entertain. There is no teaching between years, so the Pharmacy Society Brighton enables a friendly environment for students of all years to integrate. "PharmSoc" acts to represent all pharmacy students at the University of Brighton. Working through the Students' Union and with the British Pharmaceutical Students' Association (BPSA), we organise socials, fairs and academic support sessions for Pharmacy students.

Our notable and upcoming events include:

* The Staff vs Students Challenge (December & January), where the lecturers and students go head to head in a pub quiz to determine who will hold bragging rights!

* The Pharmacy Ball (March), where we change out of our lab coats and into beautiful ball gowns or sharp suits. With a 5-star meal, dancefloor and afterparty, this event includes everything you could ask for. Some lecturers will also attend, allowing for students and staff to meet outside of an academic environment.

In the past, we have facilitated a parenting scheme, where first years are given mentors from higher years which may give them academic or emotional support. This voluntary programme saw great results in its inaugural year and we hope to run it again. With careers fairs and BPSA conferences/workshops, we ensure students learn more about the wider world of pharmacy before they graduate. We look forward to you joining!
