What it is	This program teaches the chemistry behind how drugs work in the body and how they're developed and tested for safety. You'll study both the chemical structure of medications and how they interact with living systems, combining practical lab work with theory. It suits students who want hands-on science and are interested in pharmaceutical research or drug development rather than becoming a pharmacist directly.	You study how chemicals work in medicine and the body, focusing on drug design, how drugs break down, and their effects on human health. This combines chemistry and pharmacology more directly than a general science degree, giving you hands-on lab work alongside theory. It suits students who want to understand the science behind medications and are comfortable with chemistry and math at an advanced level.	Applied Biotechnology uses chemistry and biology to solve real problems in agriculture, food production, and related industries. This program requires you to work on alternating terms of classroom learning and paid work placements, giving you hands-on experience before you graduate. It suits students who want to combine technical science with practical industry experience and prefer learning through doing.
