BSc (Hons) Immunology and Pharmacology in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Strathclyde

Join our program to explore immunology, the science behind the body's defense mechanisms against illnesses, and pharmacology, which examines how medications and substances impact health and disease. You'll have the flexibility to combine degree specializations, opening doors to focused biomedical fields including neuroscience, cardiovascular studies, immunopharmacology, industrial immunology, pharmaceutical development, biochemistry, and microbial sciences.

Program highlights Immunology provides insights into autoimmune disorders where the body mistakenly attacks its own tissues, causing conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, or allergies. This field has revolutionized medical practices including vaccinations, organ transplants, blood transfusions, and treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases. Its influence extends to fundamental sciences like cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and pharmacology, while making growing impacts in agriculture, food science, and veterinary medicine.

Pharmacology investigates drug interactions with biological systems, driving advancements in therapeutic development and disease management.

Evaluation methods We assess theoretical knowledge through exams, written assignments, presentations, and digital learning tools on our Myplace platform. Practical skills are evaluated via lab tests, experiment documentation, research projects, and digital assessments. Communication abilities are measured through written work and oral presentations. The final year features an independent research project showcasing your investigative capabilities and problem-solving approach.

Career pathways Graduates pursue diverse opportunities in pharmaceutical development, food technology, environmental protection, disease prevention, and anti-aging research. Our alumni work across pharmaceutical firms, biotech companies, healthcare facilities, environmental agencies, forensic labs, academic institutions, and government science roles. The program also prepares students for science communication, business, finance, and management careers, with many continuing to advanced research degrees.
