The MSci Pharmaceutical Science degree allows students to combine bachelors and masters-level modules into one integrated package, designed to provide extensive career opportunities as a scientist within the pharmaceutical industry. The MSci degree emphasizes on employability and industry engagement. The first three years focus in the chemical and biological sciences which underpin the industry, with specialisms in Quality Control (QC), a major area of employment, and formulation science. Year four will allow further scope to study these specialisms, broadening and strengthening student’s employment prospects and providing a more unique graduate. Through this degree, students will study for a PRINCE2 Foundation qualification in project management, which is valued by employers of pharmaceutical scientists. Students will also conduct a major laboratory research project in a current area of pharmaceutical science, working in relation to industry where possible.
