This is a four-year version of our popular BSc (Hons) Cosmetic Science course with an integrated foundation year. The Cosmetic Science BSc (Hons) course introduces relevant aspects of chemistry, physiology and dermatology as well as the regulatory marketing and business framework for cosmetics. Students will also be introduced to the principles of formulation, focusing on those related to cosmetics. During the second year, students will undertake a more in-depth exploration of formulation, dermatology and professional practice in the cosmetic industry. This will include the importance of colour in these formulations and the differences between industrial and lab scale manufacture. The final year culminates in a science-led project that can be tailored to their interests.
