Our BSc Pharmaceutical Chemistry with Foundation course offers a broad education in chemistry, and provides you with the skills to succeed in the pharmaceutical industry. This four-year degree includes a year of foundational study before leading directly into the three-year course.<br/><br/>Our new pharmaceutical chemistry degree has been developed with our industrial partners to produce high quality graduates for the pharmaceutical sector – an area that already employs 67,000 people in the UK, and contributes £30.4bn to the national economy per year. <br/><br/>You will develop a strong grounding in basic chemistry and biology, and also cover advanced topics relevant to modern pharmaceutical chemistry. We go beyond organic chemistry – which is traditionally associated with pharmaceutical programmes – to cover many other areas of chemistry and biology. As such, we consciously address the needs of this modern and growing industry. <br/><br/>For more information, please visit our course page: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/chemistry-ug/bsc-pharmaceutical-chemistry-with-foundation
