Flexibility

Professionally Recognised Courses

All of our courses are designed in such as way as to meet the needs of potential employers. Personal development planning, careers guidance and tuition in transferable skills are all part of the package.

Our Pharmacy course is accredited by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain whilst our Biomedical Science degrees are accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science. Accreditation is vital if you wish to practise in these disciplines upon graduation.

A Centre of Excellence in Research

The School is part of the Institute of Biomedical and Biomolecular Science (IBBS). The Institute serves as a focus for multidisciplinary research in the biomedical sciences, including both fundamental studies and applied research in the molecular biosciences.

Research in the School is diverse, including groups in Oncology, Molecular Medicine, Drug Delivery and Natural Products. In 2006 the research was strengthened by strategic investment of nearly £1 million in equipment and laboratories dedicated to the study of neuro oncology.
