Royal Society of Chemistry Grants Accreditation to UCL School of Pharmacy MSc Programmes

The School of Pharmacy is delighted to announce that its MSc programmes in Drug Discovery and Development, Pharmaceutics, and Pharmaceutical Formulation and Entrepreneurship have been officially accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). This recognition underscores the School’s continued commitment to delivering world-class education and training in the chemical and pharmaceutical sciences.

“The chemical sciences underpin much of pharmaceutical science and technology, and independent external review forms an important part of ensuring both the quality and relevance of our education. We are very pleased to have the external mark of validation from the RSC for our programmes.” - Prof. Gareth Williams - Head of the Research Department of Pharmaceutics.

“Our MSc courses are ideal platforms for those interested in developing their skills in the pharmaceutical sciences. The accreditation of these courses follows an excellent year, where our team received a teaching award for their engaging and impactful partnerships between students and staff. (The Education Awards 2024 - shortlist announced! | Teaching & Learning - UCL – University College London).” - Prof. Zoë Waller - Head of the Research Department of Pharmaceutical and Biological Chemistry

The RSC accreditation recognises the programmes for their high-quality curriculum, rigorous academic framework, and the outstanding support offered to students, preparing graduates to excel in a wide range of professional roles across the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, academia, and beyond. It also opens doors for students to access exclusive RSC resources and enhances their prospects of achieving Chartered Chemist (CChem) status.
