Course Summary

**Completion of the Human Genome Project means that it is now possible to identify the genes associated with many cancers and inherited disorders – this presents many challenges and opportunities to make a difference in society. At the University of Salford, we are training a new generation of pharmaceutical scientists to meet these new challenges and to apply scientific knowledge in order to design drugs that improve the quality of people’s lives.** Our BSc (Hons) Pharmaceutical Science with Foundation Year will provide you with a strong foundation in science, allowing you to progress onto the Bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Science, within the School of Science, Engineering and Environment. The Foundation Year is ideal if you want to develop your career along a biological pathway but have a non-scientific background, or you don’t meet the entry requirements for direct entry to an Honours degree. This course may also be attractive if you are returning to education or if you wish to change career direction. Pharmaceutical science is at the cutting-edge of research, with opportunities in the field continuing to grow and develop. This course is designed for students looking for a career in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. It also provides a platform for research, teaching, and many other professions wherein biology and biochemistry are important components, such as animal health, food science, cosmetic science, in medical laboratories, technical sales, patent law and scientific journalism. Features • Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology • Industry work experience opportunities in local hospitals, research labs, or with major companies, such as AstraZeneca • Complete your full honours degree with a supervised research project exploring an inspiring area of research: for example, cancer and antimicrobial research, natural products, lung diseases and biotechnology
