www.bath.ac.uk/pharmacy The placement year
Placements are a distinctive feature of the undergraduate programme at Bath, which may be studied either as a three-year full-time or a four-year sandwich programme, in which the third year is spent out on industrial placement.
The placement year offers a period of invaluable experience in the pharmaceutical industry. During this year, students normally work in the Research & Development laboratories of a major company (e.g. GlaxoSmithKline) in the UK, USA or Europe. As well as being part of a research team, each MPharmacol student undertakes their own project and also submits a dissertation and a series of essays during the year.
