Our Pharmacology (including foundation year) BSc (Hons) program offers an ideal pathway into university education for those passionate about science but who may not meet the standard entry criteria for a conventional three-year pharmacology degree. This four-year program incorporates a foundational year to equip you with essential pharmacological skills needed to progress through subsequent stages.
This course prepares you for careers in pharmaceutical research and drug development targeting conditions like schizophrenia and cancer.
During the foundation year, you'll explore core concepts in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and mathematics. The curriculum covers cellular components, biological functions, logical reasoning, and laboratory safety protocols.
Our £30 million Science Centre ranks among Europe's most advanced teaching facilities, featuring a cutting-edge Superlab with specialized equipment for microbiology and tissue culture studies. You'll train in this world-class environment using professional-grade tools, gaining practical experience that prepares you for a successful career in pharmacology.
The foundational year is shared with other science-based foundation programs, enabling you to collaborate with peers across various scientific disciplines.
