For more than 50 years, we've dedicated ourselves to pharmacology, exploring how medications influence disease prevention and treatment. Our redesigned program focuses on cutting-edge therapies and research prospects. The British Pharmacology Society honored our faculty with the 2014 Rang Prize for outstanding teaching, ensuring you'll receive comprehensive training across all pharmacological disciplines through our adaptable curriculum. Whether you lack traditional qualifications or are returning to education after a gap, our foundation year serves as an ideal stepping stone - even if you're uncertain about pursuing this degree.
This contemporary yet timeless pharmacology program establishes strong fundamentals in biochemistry, human anatomy, cellular biology, and genetics during your first year.
Your second year delves into core pharmacological principles, pharmaceutical innovation, and sophisticated biochemistry alongside disease mechanisms.
We've consistently shaped accomplished pharmacologists throughout our history. Dr. Paul Mitchell, now Natural Sciences Director at the University of Bath, began his journey here three decades ago - we still incorporate one of his laboratory exercises in our curriculum.
Our program prioritizes your professional development, offering valuable work placements and practical experience opportunities.
Alumnus Suman Gurung exemplifies our course's career-launching potential. He secured a £2,000 BPS grant for an intensive research methods program. His first-class honors degree featured groundbreaking stem cell research supervised by Dr. Ayoub, leading to a position developing hair loss treatments at a cosmetic firm.
