Pharmaceutical Science with Foundation Year

About this course

Pharmaceutical science is the discipline that applies chemistry, biology, and technology to the discovery, development, and manufacture of medicines. It is concerned with understanding how drug molecules interact with biological systems, how they can be formulated for safe and effective delivery to patients, and how they are tested, regulated, and brought to market through the complex processes of the pharmaceutical industry. The discipline also engages with the business and regulatory contexts in which drug development occurs, recognising that scientific excellence must be matched by commercial and regulatory understanding if new medicines are to reach the patients who need them. At the University of Keele, this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, which makes the programme accessible to students who have strong potential but whose scientific background at A level
