Welcome to the School of Chemistry, Pharmacy, and Pharmacology (CPP).

Formed by joining the former School of Chemistry and the School of Pharmacy, CPP combines the strengths and expertise of three leading disciplines to create an interdisciplinary hub of innovation, education, and research.

Our courses are designed to provide a comprehensive and hands-on learning experience. Students will benefit from:

  • Chemistry: Flexible programs that intersect with biology, physics, and analytical science, preparing students for diverse careers and global opportunities.

  • Pharmacy: Practical experience with patients and partnerships with leading healthcare organizations, focusing on improving care and developing new therapeutic solutions.

  • Pharmacology: In-depth study of drug actions and interactions, fostering an understanding of how pharmaceuticals impact biological systems.

Our academic community offers students the chance to work closely with leading researchers and industry professionals. We are also part of the Norwich Research Park, a hub for groundbreaking research and development.

Our vision is to advance scientific knowledge and healthcare through an integrated approach that bridges chemistry, pharmacy, and pharmacology with other scientific disciplines. We aim to cultivate a collaborative learning and research environment where cutting-edge research meets practical application, ultimately improving health outcomes and scientific understanding.

We are at the forefront of pioneering research in areas such as drug discovery, sustainable chemistry, and medical treatments. Our collaborations with industry giants like AstraZeneca, GSK, Merck, and the NHS, as well as with governmental bodies and international organizations, ensure that our research has a real-world impact.
