Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Pharmaceuticals Technology

There are numerous career options in the expanding pharmaceutical sector. Thus, the program Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceuticals Technology was created to introduce students to every step of the drug development process, including how medications are found, created, tested, regulated, and sold. Before medications are made available to the general public, they will learn about clinical studies, quality control, drug formulation and production, and regulatory evaluation. Students will also learn the fundamentals of science during the first two years of the curriculum, such as the human body's physiology, how medications affect the body, and how medications are created. The production and quality assurance of pharmaceuticals will be the main topics.

Through placements with the pharmaceutical sector, students will gain familiarity with the aspects of formulation and manufacturing in the final year. After that, they will apply their abilities and expertise to complete a supervised research project in a particular field of pharmaceutical technology. Graduates will be prepared for careers in the pharmaceutical industry as well as other allied fields like research, regulatory relations, or the herbal or cosmetics industries. Additionally, you might pursue a master's or doctoral degree.
