Why Study Pharmacology as part of a Combined Honours Degree?
Pharmacology is the study of drugs; their biological effects on physiological systems and application to the prevention and treatment of disease. Pharmacology is at the interface of biochemistry, human physiology, molecular biology and toxicology, all of which are studied in this degree . The aim of the programme is to introduce you to all aspects of the subject including biochemical and molecular pharmacology, cardiovascular pharmacology, immunopharmacology, psychopharmacology, drug discovery processes and toxicology. We offer a full programme of laboratory practicals, including an individual research project and the option of taking a credit rated 48 week sandwich placement. The flexibility of sharing a common first year (Level 1) with our other Bioscience degrees provides you with the option of transferring to another degree programme on completion of the year.
