Course summary

Pharmacology is the branch of science that deals with the study of drugs and their effects on the body. This course aims to prepare high-quality pharmacology graduates with the skills for pharmaceutical careers and related lab fields.Year 1 offers a thorough introduction to the molecular basis of life as well as the biology, microbiology and human anatomy that are necessary for a more complete understanding of drug action. There is also a strong emphasis on the development of useful skills and independent critical thinking which are necessary for your development as a scientist.Year 2 takes a more detailed look at the process of drug discovery and development, both from an historical and a predictive standpoint. You will learn laboratory based skills that are essential to drug discovery and testing as well as the therapeutic uses of pharmacological agents. This will include a detailed look at proteins, cell function and genetics as well as the sites and modes of drug action.Year 3 is where you will undertake your research project in an aspect of pharmacology. This is intended to take up a third of your time and in the remaining two thirds you will expand your understanding by studying advanced modules covering pharmaceutical biotechnology, molecular biology, gene manipulation, bioinformatics and biochemical pharmacology as well as spending time in research laboratories to gain skills in current techniques.Sandwich (4 years)
