BSc and Bachelor of Laws - Pharmacology in Darlington Australia | The University of Sydney

Pharmacology focuses on examining medications and their vital role in treating most human illnesses. Today, physicians increasingly depend on drugs not just to cure ailments like infections with antibiotics, but also to prevent conditions such as heart disease using cholesterol-lowering medications. Choosing pharmacology as your major will provide comprehensive understanding of drug discovery, development, and testing, along with its significance for advancing medical research and healthcare. Throughout this program, you'll explore drug mechanisms, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, the relationship between chemical structure and drug activity, drug effects on bodily systems, toxicity, and other key topics.
The combined Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Laws is an undergraduate program offering a direct route into legal practice.

This dual degree establishes a strong foundation in core scientific principles before allowing specialization in your chosen field. It sharpens your analytical abilities to think critically, formulate and express factual and legal assessments based on evidence and reasoning, and address complex challenges.

You'll undertake core degree units and introductory electives alongside a science major or program, while simultaneously completing foundational law requirements. The curriculum also includes Open Learning Environment courses and additional electives as needed to fulfill degree requirements from disciplinary or shared course pools.

Upon completing the Bachelor of Science component, you'll advance to the Bachelor of Laws, undertaking senior core units and specialized electives from Sydney Law School's undergraduate offerings in a structured sequence.
