The Postgraduate Diploma in Science (PGDipSci) enables Bachelor of Science graduates to enhance their academic credentials. This program allows you to deepen your expertise through specialized coursework or by undertaking a research project or dissertation. The PGDipSci serves as a stepping stone for further academic pursuits at the master's or doctoral level. This one-year full-time program (or up to four years part-time) builds upon your Bachelor of Science foundation. Pharmacology postgraduate studies explore both normal bodily processes (biochemical and physiological) and their abnormalities (pathological). The curriculum covers diverse subjects including anesthetic and painkiller pharmacology, clinical and cancer pharmacology, as well as molecular and advanced toxicology studies.
