Pharmaceutical science can benefit and transform patients' lives. Spanning the worlds of chemistry and biology, it discovers, develops and analyses medicines and pharmaceutical products. If you're considering a career in the pharmaceutical industry, this course will give you the knowledge and practical skills for success.
This course explores drug discovery and development, pharmacology, toxicology and immunology. You'll examine the most effective ways medicines are manufactured, packaged, stored and administered. As well as this, you'll take part in innovative research exploring new methods of drug delivery and drug synthesis.
In your final year, you'll get the opportunity to complete a major project where you can apply the knowledge and skills you have acquired to a range of real issues in different contexts. This is a great way to learn and is a valuable bridge to employment or further research at masters level.
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.
