Pharmacology examines how drugs influence body functions in health and disease, playing a key role in protecting public health. The BSc in Pharmacology at the University of Dundee focuses on treatment approaches in neuroscience, metabolic disease, and cancer, leveraging the university's research strengths. Students explore topics such as molecular and quantitative pharmacology, learning how drugs interact with various factors and how scientists translate biomedical discoveries into practical applications. The curriculum, informed by leading researchers, covers foundational and advanced concepts.In the first two years, students study genetics, cell division, biological organisation, and molecular processes while developing skills in laboratory work, data analysis, and experimental design. Years three and four delve deeper into these areas, including a semester-long research project in a specialised Life Sciences field. The program offers flexibility in module selection and an optional industry placement between years three and four, enhancing practical experience, networking, and career prospects.
