Most UGD programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means medicines from lab to patient: pharmaceutics, pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry and pharmacognosy, with a lot of lab time. Typical first jobs: pharmacist, drug-safety or regulatory associate, or medical representative.
