Study how drugs work and gain the skills required to play an active role in future drug discovery. Our course provides an initial broad base in the fundamentals of physiology, biochemistry and medicinal chemistry. As your studies progress, there will be more of a focus on pharmacology - the effect of the drug on the body, and the effect of the body on the drug. You'll gain experience in lab work and learn from academic experts who are actively involved in real-world research. As well as drug discovery, pharmacology expertise is used in clinical trials, manufacturing, regulatory affairs, and patenting. The knowledge and skills you learn, such as data handling and scientific communication, will also be transferable to other careers.

In the first year you'll take core modules in cell biology and human physiology. You'll also begin to learn pharmacology-specific skills and to understand the basics of drug design. Teaching in the second year focuses on scientific knowledge related specifically to pharmacology and drug discovery. You'll learn many of the core concepts outlined in the British Pharmacological Society core curriculum, and relate these to the treatment of disease. In year three the modules place emphasis on current and possible future advances in pharmacology. You'll learn about more advanced topics in pharmacology, toxicology, therapeutics and medicines production. There is also a lab-based research project in your final year.
