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:
- train in techniques and in vivo skills that are in demand in the pharmaceutical industry and research
- boost your CV through work experience here at the University
- learn from experts and graduate with the latest knowledge of human health and disease
