Clinical Pharmacology, BSc (Hons)

This undergraduate degree is the sole UK programme dedicated to clinical pharmacology, offering a comprehensive approach to drug development—from disease mechanisms and target identification to clinical trials, regulatory compliance, and patient treatment. It integrates clinical and fundamental sciences through innovative methods, preparing students for careers via skill-building in leadership, communication, and teamwork. Practical learning occurs through case studies, scenario-based sessions, lab work, and projects, with every student undertaking six weeks of industry placement in Year 2, facilitated by strong ties to organisations like the British Pharmacological Society.Delivered in collaboration with industry, the course emphasises employability, featuring research projects and optional professional placements. At St George’s, University of London—a leading health sciences institution established in 1752—students learn in a clinical environment alongside healthcare professionals, benefiting from expert lecturers and a legacy of research in infectious diseases, including tuberculosis, malaria, HIV, and COVID-19.
