Pharmaceutical Science with Foundation Year - BSc (Hons)

Look forward to a bright future. Pharmaceutical scientists are in demand in the public and private sectors. Become one.

On this four-year degree course, you'll gain the theory, medical knowledge and laboratory skills you need to work successfully in pharmaceutical companies, but also in public health, the food industry and clinical research.

You'll learn how the human body functions, the impact that disease has, and how normal function can be restored through drug therapy. You'll explore the sciences that underpin drug discovery and development - and the important role of systematic, conceptual and analytical thinking. Add to this an understanding of quality assurance assessments and regulatory mechanisms associated with drug design and production.

We also focus on skills that are prized not just in the pharmaceutical industry but across the public and private sectors. You'll acquire essential laboratory skills and research techniques, learn how to identify and solve problems, and develop your communication, management and leadership skills.

Our teaching methods include lectures, interactive seminars and structured group work led by tutors and peers. Tap into our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) for 24-hour access to valuable online resources, such as content-rich study guides, and take part in practical sessions in our modern bioscience laboratories.
