Lancaster University's three-year Pharmacology program offers comprehensive knowledge about how medications interact with biological systems and impact human health – a vital aspect of modern healthcare.
Beyond exploring drug creation, their working mechanisms, medical applications, and possible adverse reactions, you'll also examine the broader social and legal frameworks governing pharmaceutical use and innovation.
As part of the Division of Biomedical and Life Sciences – recognized by The Guardian University Guide 2024 as top in the UK for teaching satisfaction and second for graduate outcomes in Biomedical Sciences – you'll learn from leading experts in the discipline.
Your initial year covers fundamental biomedical pharmacology concepts through 15 diverse core subjects, such as Pharmacology Fundamentals, Pharmaceutical Innovation, and Protein Biochemistry. The second year focuses on essential theoretical courses including Pharmacological Principles, Biochemical Processes, and Genetic Studies, alongside practical modules that teach contemporary research methodologies in pharmacology.
