High quality and commitment
This high standing reflects the high quality and commitment of the School’s academic and support staff. The School gains enormously from its position, unique within the UK, as part of a faculty comprising all the health professions, and from being part of the one of the largest universities in Europe, with excellent schools in the biological, physical and social sciences. It also benefits by having strong links with industry.
The School of Pharmacy is marked out by its commitment to advance training and research in all aspects of the design, development and use of medicines, for the benefit of patients.
It is an exciting time for the School in its work on the design and development of medicines, with rapid advances arising out of the human genome programme, in chemistry, material science and informatics. There is the prospect, as never before, of tailoring medicines to the individual patient.
