Develop the knowledge and skills to work as a pharmacologist within the pharmaceutical or life sciences industries with our new BSc Pharmacology with Foundation. This four-year programme includes a foundation year that leads directly into the three-year course, providing an excellent route into a degree in pharmacology if you do not have the typical entry requirements. The course has been designed to align with the British Pharmacological Society's core curricula and was developed with the needs of the pharmaceutical industry in mind. Our BSc Pharmacology course will not result in qualification to work as a pharmacist. Please refer to our MPharm Pharmacy or MPharm Pharmacy with Foundation courses if this is the route you wish to follow. You will: * Study the principles of drug action and molecular targets. * Learn the key mathematical principles and skills required in the industry. This includes statistical analysis as well as handling and analysing big data sets. * Develop your understanding of systems pharmacology as well as mathematical and computer modelling. You'll work with academics across our Chemistry, Food and Pharmacy, Biological Sciences, and Mathematical, Physical and Computation Sciences schools. Reading is ranked 11th in the UK for Pharmacy and Pharmacology (Guardian University Guide, 2019), and we have experts in pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry and pharmacy practice, as well as biomedical science and mathematics, who are all working on different aspects of drug research. On this course you will also have the option of spending a year in industry with our four-year BSc Pharmacology with a Year in Industry. **Facilities** During your studies, you'll use our purpose-built suite of teaching laboratories and have access to our research facility. These include: * laboratories to study organ bath pharmacology * tissue culture suites * multi-mode microplate readers (absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence) * multicolour flow cytometry * real-time PCR. You'll also study in our £60m Health and Life Sciences Building, due to open in 2020. It will offer state-of-the-art research and teaching laboratories, seminar rooms, and plenty of study and social space. The first two years of this course are taught – in part – alongside our MPAS Physician Associate Studies, a four-year programme that enables you to train as a fully qualified physician associate. If you achieve certain grades, you can choose to transfer to this course after your first or second year, if this aligns with your career aspirations or interests. Please note: this is not a guaranteed progression route. **Careers** BSc Pharmacology is ideal for aspiring pharmacologists. The UK is a world leader in pharmaceuticals, contributing nearly £14m to the UK economy and investing large sums into research and development. As well as initial drug discovery, expertise in pharmacology can also be used in areas such as clinical trials, manufacturing, regulatory affairs, patenting, and sales and marketing. BSc Pharmacology is also excellent preparation for further study at master's and PhD level.

Sample modules may include: * Foundation Programme: Biology * Mathematics Foundation * Chemistry * Key Skills for Science Research. Please check our website for more details about the course structure.
