This extended course is perfect if you want a degree in Pharmacology but you don’t have the standard qualifications.
First we prepare you for your degree during an extra Foundation year, bringing you up to speed with academic skills and a firm grounding in the subject.Then you can go on to do the full undergraduate degree.
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.
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.

Course Details – Assessment Method
Assessment consists of a mixture of coursework, presentations, class tests and written
exams. Laboratory practicals may be assessed in various forms including reports and
quizzes.
Continuous assessment in workshop activities is employed in some modules where
active participation in individual and group work may form a major part of the
module teaching.
ECDL (European Computer Driving License) is the medium of instruction for the IT
training on the module “Essential Maths and ICT”, and it leads to an internationally
recognised Certificate. The IT component of the module is delivered online and
supported by workshop sessions.
To pass the level 3 programme and progress on to your chosen degree programme, all
modules must be passed. To pass a module, you must get an overall mark of at least 40%, and
achieve a threshold mark of at least 30% in every assessment component.
