Pharmacology, BSc (Hons)

Pharmacology is the study of how drugs affect the body, whether to treat disorders or modify physiological functions. It integrates physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology to generate novel insights. Research in the field seeks to elucidate drug mechanisms and develop new therapies that enhance patient care.In this programme, you will explore drug effects on molecules, cells, and tissues; side effects; and factors influencing absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. You will join an interdisciplinary curriculum providing knowledge, skills, and professional development for globally competitive graduates, with opportunities to undertake projects alongside leading biomedical researchers addressing major global challenges.
