Pharmaceutical Chemistry with a Year in Industry/Research

Apply your knowledge of chemistry and biology to pharmaceutical practice, and gain vital industry experience, with our BSc Pharmaceutical Chemistry with a Year in Industry or Research degree. This four-year degree includes a year-long professional placement, or research project, between your second and final year of study.

Our new pharmaceutical chemistry degree has been developed with our industrial partners to produce high quality graduates for the pharmaceutical sector – an area that already employs 67,000 people in the UK, and contributes £30.4bn to the national economy per year.

You will develop a strong grounding in basic chemistry and biology, and also cover advanced topics relevant to modern pharmaceutical chemistry. We go beyond organic chemistry – which is traditionally associated with pharmaceutical programmes – to cover many other areas of chemistry and biology. As such, we consciously address the needs of this modern and growing industry.
