We’ll support you to find a place that’s right for you and wherever you choose to go, you’ll complete academic assignments alongside your work experience. This advanced degree opens you up to potentially exciting career opportunities where you can make an impact in a variety of fields including pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical analysis, research and teaching, healthcare and chemical analysis and chemical manufacturing.
