Medical Pharmacology, BSc (Hons)

Pharmacology examines how drugs and medicines interact at cellular and sub-cellular levels to yield beneficial or adverse effects. This degree provides a thorough understanding of bioactive compounds, especially those for treating human diseases, equipping students with skills valued in academia and industries for roles in biomedical research and product development.The programme focuses on training research-oriented scientists, with eligible graduates able to apply for Cardiff University's four-year Graduate Entry Medicine programme upon completion. However, transfer to Medicine is not possible after just one year. Graduates pursue diverse paths, including postgraduate research in academia or the private sector, and careers in the pharmaceutical industry or other biomedical areas. A key feature is instruction by both scientific and medical experts, offering a balanced education in fundamental science and clinical applications.
