Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical and Industrial Chemistry Course content
Explore a career in pharma and industrial chemistry in this course, combining hands on lab work, industry placement, and advanced chemical sciences.
Entry routes
The programme is of four years duration. Having followed a broad common first year (LM123) where students will learn about a variety of topics including;
- Chemistry (Inorganic, Organic, Analytical and Physical)
- Computing
- Mathematics
- Introductory Physics
- Introductory Biochemistry
The second-year builds upon these fundamentals while introducing modules in Process Technology and Photochemistry. During the third and fourth years students will undertake additional modules in Polymer Chemistry, Process Technology, Safety in Industry, Computational Chemistry, Chemical Nanotechnology, Advanced Analytical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Formulation. The Cooperative Education work placement occurs in year three from early January to the end of August.
