Foundation Year in Science - Pharmacy, and Pharmaceutical Science

The Science Foundation Year aims to prepare students for degree-level study, by equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in science, healthcare or engineering related subjects. The course is designed to open up an exciting world of opportunities within these disciplines for students who do not meet our standard entry requirements. The course aims to prepare students with the fundamental skills and knowledge required for successful transition into degree-level study, which may open up exciting careers and further study opportunities. The course provides an alternative integrated entry route onto a wide range of degree-level programmes in the College of Science in the areas of Chemistry, Engineering, Life Sciences, Mathematics and Physics, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science.

The School of Pharmacy aims to produce pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists who are equipped to address future healthcare challenges and optimise the effectiveness and safety of medicines through research and education. Students have the opportunity to learn from academics who are at the forefront of their fields, together with practising pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists. Pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists have the potential to forge strong and unique bridges between science and healthcare to improve health outcomes, built on the back of developing good relationships with patients, healthcare practitioners and the pharmaceutical industry.
