"The specialised modules have given me a strong overview of the entire pharmaceutical development process, including areas such as pharmacokinetics and how drugs work within the body. The quality of teaching and facilities is excellent. The STEM Lab is a fantastic resource and the opportunity to spend extensive time in the labs throughout the degree has been a particularly valuable aspect of the course."
