The BSc programme is distinct from the MPharm degree. You will study core modules delivered by the School of Pharmacy and the School of Biomedical Sciences, as well as optional modules from both within and outside of the Faculty of Science. For example, in the final year of the Pharmaceutical and Health Sciences degree you can take advanced modules in areas such as drug discovery, drug design and molecular pharmacology, as well as optional modules in areas such as marketing, entrepreneurship and business. Graduates of the BSc programme will therefore be ideally placed for a career in Malaysia’s burgeoning RM1.4 billion pharmaceutical industry.
