Do you see yourself as a research scientist? Working at the cutting edge of discovering, designing and developing new drugs for clinical purposes? If so, this four-year course is an ideal kicking off point for your future career.
You'll explore the sources of medicine, how medicines work, and how they can be formulated (such as via tablet, cream or inhaler), administered, analysed and tested.
The course shares its first two years with the Pharmaceutical Science BSc (Hons) programme, which provides a wide understanding of all aspects of the pharmaceutical industry. In Year 3, you'll deepen your knowledge of natural product chemistry and develop the skills you need to test and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products. In Year 4, you'll develop your skills in experimental design, critical analysis, problem-solving and laboratory work.
We have recently updated our modules to enhance student-centred teaching and align course content with industry needs, helping you become a future-proof graduate.
