If you’re seeking a career in science, this course is for you. Featuring both biotechnical and pharmaceutical sciences this course allows you to explore multiple disciplines of science. Study specialities such as pharmacology, microbiology, immunology, genetics, biomaterials, and medicinal and organic chemistry, then find your future focus. Are you ready to discover the next steps of your career? Work with microbes, synthesise molecules, and discover something new, as you learn and study in our cutting-edge laboratories. Our programme combines chemical and biological sciences allowing you to experience a range of scientific specialities. You will develop laboratory skills, learn to design and perform practical work, and analyse data. This programme will strengthen your academic and transferable skills prized by employers. Specialist modules will offer opportunities to break into the science sector or pursue a career that values logic and analysis. We place a strong emphasis on practical skills as well as theoretical knowledge supported by experience in our cutting-edge laboratories. This practical experience gives you the chance to apply your knowledge in a real-world environment.

Throughout this course you will: Have the opportunity to design and conduct your own research project. Gain an understanding and appreciation of the chemistry and biochemistry of drug molecules: their design, synthesis and behaviour in the body Develop a multidisciplinary understanding of the science of human life, health and disease at the molecular, cellular, system, organismal and environmental level. Learn about microbial processes and applications, including the opportunities for humans to exploit and benefit from these. Modules may include: Year 1 (Level 4) Core modules: Personal and professional development Integrated biomolecular science Integrated practical skills Mathematics Option Modules: Physiology and pathology Physical, inorganic and organic chemistry Biochemical processes Organic chemistry Year 2 (Level 5) Core modules: Microbiology & biotechnology Pharmacology & therapeutics Work related learning Scientific investigation Option Modules: Immunology Genetics Medicinal chemistry Biomaterials and solid state chemistry

There will be regular short practice assessment activities (in the form of regular quizzes and tests) with feedback provided to guide your progress and development. Pair and small group activities will be regularly used in all modules, allowing you to improve communication and teamwork skills. Giving short oral and poster presentations will increase your confidence in speaking and presenting. Preparation for practical activities will be available in the form of virtual experiments in which online feedback is instantly available. Real and simulated practical activities will also provide data and you will be given guidance on how to collect and process high quality data, and how to use it to form conclusions. Modules will be formally assessed and graded through a range of methods, including traditional examinations, laboratory activities, problem-based group projects, oral and poster presentations, case-studies, research projects and essays. This range of activities provides the opportunity for everyone to demonstrate the knowledge and skills that they have acquired throughout the course of their studies. The mix of practical and written assessments will provide evidence to employers of the level of laboratory skills and other abilities (such as teamwork, communication skills, ethical integrity, etc.), whilst also enabling you to demonstrate the theoretical knowledge and academic skills that you have developed.
