Want to get hands-on? You’re in the right place. Because at Hertfordshire, that’s exactly what you’ll do. We teach pharmaceutical science in small, supportive groups, based in real labs, equipped with outstanding industry technology. Every step of the way you’ll build the skills today’s employers really need. We know, because we asked them. In fact, we designed our entire course in collaboration with the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. 

Our inventive, inspiring teaching team has an outstanding reputation and a strong research ethos, pouring their internationally acclaimed discoveries straight into your learning. So, whether you want to design new drugs, bring brilliant discoveries into the real world or champion patient safety, you’ll be studying as part of a vibrant, supportive scientific community. 

In your first couple of years you can take advantage of peer-to-peer mentoring from final-year students, and throughout the course you’ll get the chance to go to eye-opening events and gain career insights from visiting experts and inspiring alumni. Fancy some phenomenal transferrable skills? You’ll get those too – from making presentations and working with others, to brilliantly managing your time. 

What are the facilities like? 

Outstanding. This course is based in our modern, fully-equipped science building, where you’ll get hands-on in specialist labs and suites dedicated to making medicines including working in pharmacology, cell biology, synthetic chemistry, analytical chemistry, formulation development and sterile manufacturing. 

We continually invest in industry-standard equipment and you’ll have access to the latest software, clinical journals, dedicated learning spaces and the University’s 24/7 Learning Resource Centres. During your second-year studies, you’ll get to use Oculus Quest VR headsets which enhance your learning through 3D experiences. You’ll be able to use the headsets to ‘walk inside’ a protein to learn and see how drug molecules behave in the protein, how they can bind to a receptor, and how they can be manipulated to make changes. The headsets are a fun and interactive way of learning, which will help you get to grips with the biomechanical process of how drugs work, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of using such innovative technology within our teaching environment.
