Pharmacology, MSci (Hons)

A pharmacology degree at Lancaster offers the chance to study and research new and existing drugs, their mechanisms of action, effects on the body, and role in addressing global healthcare challenges. Aligned with the British Pharmacological Society’s core curriculum, this integrated MSci program provides deep insights into drug development, therapeutic uses, side effects, and societal/regulatory contexts, alongside practical lab skills in experimental design, research, data analysis, and teamwork.The structured course progresses from foundational biomedical topics in Year 1 (e.g., pharmacology introduction, molecular biology) to advanced areas like neuropharmacology and drug design in Years 2-3, culminating in an independent research project supported by experts in diseases such as cancer and neglected tropical illnesses. Year 4 features an extended project and master’s-level themes, preparing graduates for careers in pharmacology, pharmaceuticals, biotech, or related fields.
