uni degrees for pharma companies
i want to work in lab-based roles within pharmaceutical companies (e.g. drug development, formulation, R&D), but i’m not sure what course and universities would be the best for this – pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacy, chemistry or etc.
I don’t want to be a pharmacist in a clinical or community setting, so would Pharmacy still be worth considering?
I've only applied for Pharmaceutical Sciences (with a year in Industry) at Nottingham

Pharmacy and Pharmacology are very different roles - useful read

Pharmacology degrees will sometimes have slightly different titles at some Unis - check the course descriptions for any differences in emphasis - examples :
