You’ll engage with research and practical activities, and benefit from our excellent laboratory and research facilities throughout your studies.

Pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy

Pharmaceutical scientists play a vital role in the development of new medicines – from the initial discovery chemistry through to formulation development, manufacture, clinical testing and beyond. This course has been developed in collaboration with local and national biotech and pharmaceutical companies to ensure that its content stays relevant to the industry. The modules give you a fundamental understanding of chemistry, biochemistry, biology and pharmacology, before building specialist knowledge in drug design, formulation development and clinical testing. At the same time, you’ll develop the essential capabilities and skills employers value in the workplace.

If you are worried about getting the correct grades, you can also learn more about foundation and extended degrees for an alternative entry pathway into these courses.
