Our passion for pharmacology and our reputation for excellence stretches back to the distant days when the University of East London was called the West Ham Technical Institute. After half a century of studying drugs and how their application affects the prevention and treatment of disease, we’re now celebrating the landmark 50th anniversary of our pharmacology teaching and research at UEL.
Not only are we sure we’ve never been better, but we think our future’s never been more exciting. A new, revamped course will equip you for a rewarding future in what our prize-winning, internationally recognised lecturers believe is the most fascinating and challenging of the biosciences.
We’ll give you a thorough introduction to every area of pharmacology through our diverse and flexible approach. You’ll also leave with a thorough understanding of areas such as molecular biology, physiology, microbiology, genetics and toxicology.

Course Details – Assessment Method
Students are assessed in practical work and theory. In most modules 50% of the module mark
is derived from coursework during the semester (this can take a variety of forms including
laboratory work, data analysis, essays, portfolios, oral presentations etc.) and 50% from
unseen written theory examination at the end of the semester. Some modules also include
laboratory practical exams.
Level 4 (Year 1) modules introduce you to the standards and types of assessment used at
university. Some have theory exams staged at intervals through the semester. Although they
do not contribute to your final Honours grade, you are expected to achieve at least 40% in all
Level 4 modules.
Your final Honours grade uses marks from Level 5 and Level 6 modules only. Your Level 4
modules prepare you to do your best in these later years.
Students with disabilities and/or particular learning needs should discuss assessments with
the Programme Leader to ensure they are able to fully engage with all assessment within the
programme
