Bachelor of Science Pharmaceutical Science

The BSc in Pharmaceutical Science course is a full time, three year degree that qualifies graduates for employment in the pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical industries and related sectors.

The course enables graduates to obtain a worthwhile qualification after three years of study.

Students will study a broad range of scientific subjects that are important for the discovery, development and manufacture of drugs and therapies.

A strong emphasis is placed on practical work in the laboratory, where students will get hands-on experience of using a wide range of techniques and instrumentation.

A research project is included in the final year, allowing the student to work independently in an area of interest to them, developing their research and problem-solving skills.

The programme allows a more flexible progression to further qualifications such as transfer to the fourth year of a related honours degree at SETU Waterford or elsewhere.
