WHO ARE YOU?
You are probably a recent physical or life sciences graduate in chemistry, pharmacy or biology.
You could equally be in work and want to develop your professional skills. If you are, we offer this course part-time as well, one day per week.
WHY STUDY THIS COURSE?
Our industrial partners are always telling us that they need people like you. Analysts are among the most sought after professionals with some of the highest employability rates.
Experience in a pharmaceutical company can help you decide if you enjoy working in industry or prefer a research/academic career. Placements also improve employability prospects as many placement students get offered a job immediately after they complete their degree.
You will receive practical training on state-of-the-art separation techniques, such as HPLC/MS and GC/MS, in the purpose built Pharmaceutical Analysis lab designed in partnership with Agilent (a world-leading instrument manufacturer).
