This MSci degree is a four-year programme, developed to endow students with the knowledge and expertise to understand how modern pharmaceuticals are constructed for specific deployment and controlled release of therapeutic agents.
The course will combine elements of biology and chemistry to examine how drugs affect the human body. In the first year, students will learn the fundamentals in both disciplines, as well as the fundamentals of lab-based work. After the first year they’ll study these topics in greater depth and have the opportunity to specialise in subjects that interest them, including inorganic chemistry, microbiology, advanced bioanalytical science, neuropharmacology and much more.
During the final year, students will focus on an independent research project under the supervision of an academic who is an active researcher in contemporary drug delivery systems and emerging technologies.
