Pharmaceutical Science, BSc (Hons)

Pursue a BSc in Pharmaceutical Science to join innovative scientists tackling global disease challenges through drug development. This interdisciplinary program integrates biology, chemistry, and pharmacology, equipping you with comprehensive knowledge of drug design, synthesis, function, delivery, characterization, and side effects—from conception to clinical application. You'll also examine the societal, regulatory, and translational aspects of turning lab innovations into consumer products.Taught by experts in cancer mechanisms, novel drug chemistries, and biomedical imaging, the degree fosters practical lab skills in facilities featuring bioimaging, protein purification, confocal microscopy, PCR, cell culture, advanced synthesis, and analytical techniques like NMR, mass spectrometry, and HPLC. The curriculum progresses from foundational topics in Year 1 (infection, immunity, chemistry, pharmacology) to advanced biochemistry, synthesis, and drug actions in Year 2, culminating in Year 3 with drug design, global health applications, and an independent research project. Ideal for careers in pharmaceuticals, biotech, or related fields like management and teaching, it builds transferable analytical skills through lectures, labs, tutorials, and digital resources.
