Six reasons to study pharmacy and biomolecular sciences at the University of Brighton
Innovative and relevant
The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise confirmed that 80 per cent of our research in biomedical sciences is of international standing. The curriculum reflects and connects to the research that is being undertaken.
Brighton researchers are working on diverse global problems: from treatments for diabetes to new methods of carbon capture. This means your courses are taught by cutting edge scientists.
A leading professional university
The School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences is one of the UK’s leading university departments for pharmacy, biology, chemistry and biomedical education. Courses are developed in close consultation with industry, the NHS and professional bodies such as the General Pharmaceutical Council.
There are close links with the schools of Nursing and Midwifery, Health Professions, and the Brighton and Sussex Medical School. Students are able to take work-based placements, gaining valuable experience and contacts for the future.
Career-focused
We are proud of our reputation for producing highly employable and adaptable graduates.
The university enjoys an excellent record for graduate employment. Our graduates have successful careers in the pharmaceutical, chemical and bioscience industries, the NHS, and in biomedical, chemical and environmental research. More than 90 per cent of our students are in relevant employment or undertaking further studies six months after graduating
Excellence in teaching and support
Members of our academic staff have won prestigious National Teaching Fellowship awards in recognition of their ‘outstanding contribution to learning and teaching’, as well as Academic Excellence Awards from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
Staff also actively engage with community projects such as Active Pharmacist and appear regularly on TV programmes promoting science and science education.
Facilities fit for the 21st century
The school is housed in the Huxley Building which opened in 2010. The building spans nine floors and has extensive lab facilities, including an image analysis suite, nuclear magnetic resonance suite and pharmacology laboratory.
Over the past decade the university has invested £100 million in facilities. Practical laboratory sessions and workshops help students to reinforce knowledge learnt in lectures and tutorials.
Outstanding location
Brighton & Hove is Britain’s liveliest seaside city, offering an exciting mix of shops, restaurants, clubs and theatres. Facilities on the Moulsecoomb campus include two restaurants, five cafes, two banks, two Students’ Union shops and a nursery.
Our open days give you a chance to find out about our courses, to meet current students and staff and get to know the university.
