Presentación

Do you want to gain real, hands-on experience of what it takes to work in pharmaceutical science? This highly practical degree will give you the opportunity to work in our purpose-built, state-of-the-art laboratories, with industry-standard equipment.

The course is designed for students who do not currently meet admissions criteria for direct entry to the BSc (Hons) Pharmaceutical Science degree. You’ll start by completing a foundation year, which provides well structured support, allowing you to develop your scientific skills and knowledge.

The course has a strong basis in the chemical and biological sciences, and you’ll study subjects in the broad areas of fundamental chemistry, analytical chemistry and spectroscopy, biochemistry, and drug design, delivery and regulation. You’ll also gain an excellent knowledge of the industry and develop the skills that employers value most highly.

Programa

The first year provides you with well structured support, allowing you to develop your scientific skills and knowledge.

In the second year, you will study a variety of modules which will provide you with a strong grounding in chemistry that will prove invaluable during the rest of your degree and working life. To begin to understand the biological action of drugs and their impact, you will also be introduced to fundamental human biology and biochemistry. All of these modules involve practical work and you will gain hands-on experience using equipment in our state-of-the-art laboratories. You will also learn about the industry, its setting on a UK and global scale, the roles of scientists in the sector, the big players and their major products, so that you will be able to talk with confidence about the sector.

The third year focuses on chemical synthesis, drug design, drug action and chemical analysis. In your fourth year you will continue to develop your skills in chemical synthesis and analysis, toxicology, as well as use industry standard apparatus and equipment.

Learning and teaching methods
You will be taught by highly qualified chemists, some of which have years experience of providing training to the pharmaceutical sector itself and teaching pharmaceutical science at HE level. The modules themselves will be delivered through a blend of traditional lectures, tutorials, workshops, and practical laboratory sessions complimented by the resources of our newly built facilities. Self-directed study is supported by Blackboard, our online learning resource.

You can opt to study by flexible/part time learning allowing you to take 60 credits of the full-time programme each year, meaning your studies will be conducted over six years. Timetabled sessions will take place throughout the week.

Salidas profesionales

This course provides you with the scientific background and industry knowledge that will make you highly marketable to employers in the pharmaceutical sector. Being one of the largest employers of scientists in the UK, jobs for scientists within the sector are quite varied. While approx. 48% are employed just in research and development, scientists may also find themselves in roles that may range from a purely lab-based position, to marketing, patent filing, quality assurance/regulation, or even as a sales representative.
