2017/18 Programme Fact Sheet As the central science, *Chemistry *is responsible for many of the most important breakthroughs in science. In taking some of the world's most exciting ideas and discoveries and turning these into innovative processes and products, its potential to improve our everyday lives is enormous. *Pharmacology *is the science of drugs, specifically the study of both the toxic and therapeutic affects that chemical agents have on a biological system. Graduates from our Chemistry with Pharmacology degree programme therefore possess interdisciplinary expertise in two subjects that are integral to the pharmaceutical and life-sciences industries, which make a vital contribution to the UK's economy. Study at Birmingham and you will join one of the UK's leading universities and have access to some of the best research facilities and teaching and learning resources in the country. Throughout your time with us, you will be constantly challenged as you push forwards the boundaries of your understanding, all within a supportive learning environment. By the time you graduate, you will be ready to forge an exciting career that shapes the future of science and society. Course Code: K0209 Course Title: Chemistry with Pharmacology Award: B.Sc.

Course Title: Chemistry with Pharmacology Programme Code: 5064 Year: 1 Year 1 Summer Skills Laboratory is a zero credit module which provides training in the fundamental skills of separation, measurement, analysis, calculation and the interpretation of data. Satisfactory completion is assessed by maintenance of a laboratory notebook, the quality of the data produced in the laboratory and its interpretation. Satisfactory completion of this module is normally required for progression to Year 2. Fundamental Mathematics is a zero credit module which is student centred and self paced, providing training in the fundamental skills and concepts of mathematics that underpin the rest of the programme. Satisfactory completion of this module is normally required for progression to Year 2.
