The MPharmSci Pharmaceutical Science course at Kingston University teaches students how medicines are made, tested, and used. It helps students understand how drugs work in the body and how to make safe and effective treatments. This course is perfect for people who are interested in science and want to help others by working in the health and pharmaceutical industry. You’ll have the opportunity to take advanced postgraduate-level modules in the manufacture and clinical trials of medicines and topics in drug design, discovery, and development. 

Students will learn about drug design, chemistry, biology, and how to make and test medicines. The course includes both classroom lessons and hands-on lab work. You’ll also study how to check if a drug is safe, how it travels through the body, and how to follow health rules. In the final year, you will do a big research project to show what you have learnt. This course is great for students who like chemistry and biology. You’ll have the chance to visit real pharmaceutical companies and see how things work. 

You will learn through lectures, lab experiments, group projects, and tutorials. Lecturers will help you understand the lessons in a simple and clear way. Your grades will be based on tests, lab reports, presentations, and final projects. There is support to help you improve your study and research skills throughout the course. There are also career and placement opportunities to help prepare you for your job after graduation.
