| Would you like to be part of a growing industry that offers creative and scientific roles and generates billions of pounds a year? By studying Cosmetic Science you will gain expertise in the formulation, manufacture, regulation and quality control of cosmetic, fragrance and personal care products. Our multidisciplinary course will give you a career edge within the cosmetics industry as well as a platform for success in many different roles in research and development.
The first year of this exciting new course introduces relevant aspects of chemistry, physiology and dermatology as well as the regulatory framework for cosmetics. You will also be introduced to the principles of formulation with an emphasis on those related to cosmetics. During the second year you will undertake a more in-depth exploration of formulation, dermatology and professional practice in the cosmetic industry. This will include the importance of colour in these formulations and the differences between industrial and lab scale manufacture. The final year culminates in a science-led project that can be tailored to your interests. Through the project you will demonstrate your capacity to address a particular issue in a rigorous, research-enabled way. The project can be linked to your placement or other work experience, making it a useful way of catching the attention of potential employers.
