Will I get help finding a final year industry placement for the MSci course?
Yes. While it is your responsibility to secure your placement for the MSci Pharmaceutical Sciences course, you will be given lots of help and support. In years one and two, there are three workshops organised by the Careers and Employability Service. These workshops will provide insights into previous placements and best practice on how to contact businesses/industry.
In year 3 we hold a focus preparation module for placements. Additional support is available, including one-to-one advice by Careers and Employability Officers and your personal tutor.
To complete the MSci Pharmaceutical Sciences (with a year in industry), you must complete a year-long industry placement.
