Course Description
Hertfordshire and its surroundings have the UK's highest concentration of pharmaceutical research and development facilities, and this degree has been developed in response to the specific demands of the industry.
The programme is designed to produce graduates who are able to contribute to research, discovery, development and production of medicines in the pharmaceutical industry and related areas. The emphasis on transferable as well as specialised skills will also equip you with the qualities to enter a range of other professions.
The programme enables you to develop a strong foundation in the biosciences and chemistry and build on this to apply these subjects to the various stages in medicine discovery and production. We recognise the impact of modern molecular biology and combinatorial chemistry on the search for, and design of, new drugs and these aspects are considered in depth. The mode of action of drugs is investigated in the pharmacology modules and the scale-up of drug manufacture is a theme that runs throughout the programme. You will need AS level chemistry for this degree.
