Biopharmaceuticals BSc (Hons)

Biopharmaceuticals include recombinant proteins, nucleic-acid and plant-based therapeutics, and are an economically important, high-growth market worth over £1 trillion to the global economy. The world-leading biopharmaceuticals cluster centred in Speke in Liverpool works closely alongside experts at the University of Liverpool, including Biochemists, Pharmacologists, Chemists and Bioengineers at the cutting-edge of new research.

Our interdisciplinary Biopharmaceuticals Degree offers an exciting opportunity to learn how Molecular Biosciences, Chemistry and Engineering principles are combined to deliver the biopharmaceuticals of the future. You will study a broad range of modules focused on key concepts in biotechnology (including bioengineering), pharmacology and chemistry, with the opportunity to join collaborative research teams in your own lab-based research project.

We offer individual support for making international career choices right from the beginning and you will have the opportunity to consider potential career pathways both within and outside the rapidly expanding biopharmaceutical field, which encompasses both biotech and traditional pharmaceuticals. You’ll also learn and develop key transferable skills in communication, team working, project management and computing, with a focus on practical sessions and team working.
