MBiolSci Pharmacology

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how medicines are taken for granted. Faced with a new disease, it is only through the development of vaccines and medicines we are now finding our way out of the pandemic. The study of pharmacology underpins how medicines are developed. You will learn about the development of new medicines and how they work in the fight against disease.You will be studying in the UK’s largest Pharmacology department which has won the prestigious 2017 Queens Anniversary Prize in recognition of its work to improve the safety and effectiveness of medicines. You will be taught by leading academics in our £30m teaching facilities. You can enrol on our Deferred Choice Programme (C130) before you decide to specialise or retain broader research interests. Ours is a rewarding programme and you’ll have excellent academic and pastoral support.The MBiolSci is a four-year programme, in which students first follow the three-year BSc in Pharmacology and then continue into a fourth year, subject to performance.
