What’s it about?

A degree in science can lead to all sorts of things, some of which you may not have considered.  Biology and nutrition impacts on almost every facet of our daily lives from the stuff you can see and eat to the things you can’t that can make us feel unwell.  A chemistry degree can lead to a career in pharmaceutical research, consumer healthcare, perfumery or materials development. Many people think pharmacy is about dispensing medicines, however, it is a vast study area covering everything from aspects of chemistry to human biology and the study of how drugs affect the body and are used to combat disease. The great thing is our courses emphasise the practical aspects – real world applications which will help to shape your career ambitions.

The MPharm (Pharmacy) degree is the only degree in the UK that can be used to register and practise as a pharmacist.
