    Course Summary

    Nottingham Trent University’s BSc in Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry is designed to give students both the pure science background in chemistry and the practical understanding of chemical engineering and medicine that they’ll need to take part in creating tomorrow’s wonder drugs and treatments. During your years at NTU, you’ll gain experience in a professional grade laboratory where you’ll use the advanced techniques that could define your future career.

    This program is recognised by the Royal Society of Chemistry, which indicates that its content is highly relevant to employers in this rapidly growing industry. In addition, you can select form a range of specialist modules in later years, defining your own fields of expertise and laying the groundwork for an exciting career.

    This course includes an optional year in paid placement. This follows on after a brief paid placement in year 2, and is a wonderful opportunity to develop real world experience and begin building a contact network that will be of help throughout your career.  

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
