This degree aims to:
develop your skills and knowledge in the main areas of chemistry (organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry) and also enable you to develop a strong awareness of the specialist application of chemistry to pharmaceutical science. This will encompass the physicochemical nature of drugs, the molecular basis of life, practical pharmaceutical techniques, the principles of drug development and formulation and advanced pharmaceutical formulation. In addition if you choose to undertake a Sandwich degree then the course will allow you to acquire technical skills in the workplace and enable you to integrate knowledge gained in the theoretical aspects of the course into the professional environment.
produce a graduate who is “fit for purpose”, who is ready for employment in the chemistry/pharmaceutical or a related industry, or who can progress to teaching, further study or research aspirations.

About this course
You will have studied a core of organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry, the pillars of what can be considered to be “the central science” and have an integrated knowledge of these main areas of chemistry together with good practical skills, literacy, numeracy. You will have a high level of IT skills and be capable of logical, scientific, critical thinking and problem solving. In addition you will have studied many of the essential concepts of Pharmaceutical Science and will understand much of the principles and language of these sciences at the interface of chemistry. These skills will make you well equipped for the workplace, be it in a pharmaceutical science, chemistry or chemistry related environment or the wider world of work in general. You will also be well placed for further study and/or research if you so choose.
