Course summary

Develop the scientific skills and business knowledge needed for a dynamic career in the pharmaceutical industry. Explore the range of sciences that underpin pharmaceutical discovery and development, understand the global legal and regulatory requirements of the industry, and recognise the business potential of new drugs. Why choose this course?

  • Develop the multi-disciplinary and problem-solving skills the pharmaceutical industry is actively looking for in graduates
  • Be part of the well-established School of Pharmacy and Bioengineering
  • Opportunities to learn a language
  • State-of-the-art facilities including the Central Science Laboratories
The pharmaceutical industry is a global one that offers many different career possibilities. Pharmaceutical Science with Business at Keele was co-developed with experts from the pharmaceutical industry who work in areas including formulation development and regulatory affairs, and academic experts who have first hand experience of working in the field. As a result of this, graduate skills are aligned to the industry demands. The pharmaceutical industry strives to develop new drugs, the formulation of medicines and medical devices to advance healthcare provision. Throughout the programme you will be encouraged to explore themes such as the pathway for the discovery and development of therapeutic drugs and the cost effectiveness of medications. This incorporates product formulation, manufacturing, quality assurance, clinical trials design and implementation. The aim is for you to understand how medicines gain approval to be marketed and, ultimately, how these medications are administered. About Keele Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University.
