Pharmacology, BSc (Hons), with study abroad

Lancaster University's Pharmacology programme offers a comprehensive four-year degree focused on drug interactions with biological systems, including development, mechanisms, therapeutic applications, and societal implications. Students explore core topics in drug discovery, biochemistry, and genetics, while benefiting from the Division of Biomedical and Life Sciences, ranked first in the UK for teaching satisfaction and second for graduate prospects by The Guardian University Guide 2024.The curriculum begins with foundational modules in the first year, followed by advanced theory and skills in the second. The third year involves study at an overseas partner university to enhance global perspectives, with the final year covering specialised topics like neuropharmacology. Students can select optional modules, conduct research projects, and utilise state-of-the-art laboratories. Lancaster will endeavour to secure overseas placements, though alternatives are available if needed, and the university assumes no financial responsibility for the year abroad.
