• Objectives
  The design of pharmaceuticals is a complex subject involving input from a range of scientific and technical areas. The most important of these are chemistry and biology. This focused course provides you with training in the design of active molecules, an understanding of their specific biological activity and a knowledge of the way in which they can be delivered to the right places in the body to have most effect.
• Entry requirements
  You are normally expected to have GCSE English and Mathematics at grade C or above (or equivalent). Successful applicants are normally expected to achieve one of the following: at least 160 points from two or more A-levels, including chemistry; or at least 160 points from two A-levels (Applied subjects) in science; or a BTEC National Diploma in Science with MMP and at least four merits in the final year, excluding common skills. Entry from appropriate Foundation and Access courses will also be considered.
