2-Term First Year Pathway in Life and Medical Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Pharmaceutical Science

Program Description

HIC offers University First Year studies for candidates who do not meet the direct entry criteria or hold high school qualifications that are not recognised. Upon successful completion of the pathway programme students will progress onto the second year of their University of Hertfordshire progression degree.

Pharmaceutical scientists play a vital role in the development of new medicines – from the initial discovery chemistry through to formulation development, manufacture, clinical testing and beyond. This course has been developed in collaboration with local and national biotech and pharmaceutical companies to ensure that its content stays relevant and it gives students up-to-date skills. Modules give them a fundamental understanding of chemistry, biochemistry, biology and pharmacology, before building their specialist knowledge in drug design, formulation development and clinical testing. At the same time students will develop the essential capabilities employers want to see in their graduate employees.
