One of the best ways of finding out how the science of pharmacology is applied in the real world is to do it yourself. There are opportunities in many BSc Pharmacology courses to do a year’s placement, often called a sandwich placement, in a pharmaceutical company as part of your degree course. Here you see real science in action, apply the knowledge and skills you learnt at University and develop them further. You earn money and might even work abroad for that year.

There is also the possibility of finding a work placement during the summer while at University as you have useful skills and knowledge.


Jobs at the end of your degree

A BSc Pharmacology degree will equip you for finding employment in laboratories in pharmaceutical companies, going on do a higher degree or doing many other types of jobs.
