From 2007, the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences will introduce the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science.

The Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science has two major areas of study – formulation chemistry and pharmaceutical biology. Formulation chemistry involves inventing, making and testing new products in fields such as pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics. Pharmaceutical biology investigates the biotechnological aspects of drug design and evaluation.

Pharmaceutical science plays a vital role in improving human health by translating advances in medical research into medicines. A pharmaceutical scientist is trained to select new targets for drug therapy and convert these targets into reliable, accessible and effective treatments for patients.
