Pharmaceutical Sciences (with a Year in Industry)

About this course

Pharmaceutical sciences is the discipline that bridges the gap between basic chemistry and biology on one side and the development of medicines that reach patients on the other. It encompasses the discovery, formulation, manufacture, testing, and regulation of drugs, drawing on organic chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, and materials science to understand how therapeutic compounds are designed, how they behave in the body, and how they can be made stable, safe, and effective in the forms that patients actually use. At the University of Nottingham, one of the UK's leading research universities with a well-regarded pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences school, you will study the core areas of the discipline over four years full-time. The programme includes a year in industry, in which you spend a full year working in a pharmaceutical or related scientific organisation before returning
