Welcome to the only UK institution dedicated entirely to teaching and research in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences.  Dynamic and internationally top rated research is integrated with excellent teaching to further knowledge and understanding of medicines - how they are made, how they act and how people use them to prevent and cure disease.

The School is presently organised into four academic departments including several specialist research centres. These comprise:

Department of Pharmaceutics

For many years, the School of Pharmacy has sought strategic collaborations with partners both in the UK and globally in drug discovery, development and medicines usage. Furthermore, the School of Pharmacy is committed to innovation and the development of partnership opportunities with the private and public sector.

The School has expertise across a broad range of disciplines in the pharmaceutical sciences. We offer opportunities for licensing, collaboration and consulting through our wholly-owned subsidiary company Pharmovation.

Pharmovation was formed in 2005 with the aim of promoting the transfer of new technologies and innovations generated by researchers at the School of Pharmacy to industry.

Pharmovation has a wide range of technologies available for licensing and will be happy to discuss any of the opportunities with you. Visit Pharmovation's website for more information.
