Pharmacology

Pharmacology is the study of how drugs act on the human body and vice versa. It is thanks to pharmacologists that you can take an aspirin when you get a headache, or anaesthetic when you have a filling.

Topics include:

• drug development
• toxicology
• anticancer drugs

You'll gain an in-depth knowledge of a wide range of drug classes. You also develop a sound understanding of the drug development process.

Study with us and you'll:
