With over 900 biotech companies in the UK employing nearly 26,000 people, pharmaceutical biotechnology is an increasingly important area for pharma. It provides the biotechnological tools and techniques to enable the discovery, development and evolution of novel therapeutics and innovative drug delivery systems.

The BSc in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology is designed to create students who have broad analytical and practical experience focussed on recent developments in the field, as well as strong professional and inter-disciplinary skills to prepare them for careers within the sector.
