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.

The Foundation in Science is a 1+3 year programme that results in direct progression to the undergraduate degrees offered within the Faculty of Science. This rigorous programme provides students with a strong academic background that will result in enhanced language, mathematics, critical thinking and study skills.
Students on this programme also chose from a range of elective modules that provide the opportunity to sample topics related to their chosen undergraduate pathway such as chemistry, ecology, computer programming or psychology.
Students must select two modules from the list below.
Students may be allowed to substitute one module from the compulsory and/or optional module lists with modules in a related subject. Any changes must be agreed by the School to ensure that the course is in keeping with a degree in Pharmaceutical and Health Sciences. The practicalities of fitting other modules around the timetable will be a factor.
